Progress.
They came, they saw, they had fun.
Bella and Noah, Joseph and Finnlay.
The boys wanted to make things so we made helicopters and planes from offcuts of the poystyrene.
There were several bonfires
Joseph had the honour of being the first visitor to use the new small gate into the sheep field. It will henceforth be known as The Joseph Gate
And today it was dry but cold so i got on with painting the stables/woodstore in timber preservative

New gate.
Today’s work involved removing the old fencing from near the stable and putting the small gate in place of the metal gate on the far side of the sheep field. This gate had a broken post so needed fixing.

A day off!
Today was meant to be a Quaker day but the meeting was cancelled so I spent the day in the shed working on the Australian layout. I have fitted the return track behind the main scene and added the small fiddle yard to the right of the layout.

Last week....
Last week was packed with visitors, Abbi with her three children then Helen and Steve at the weekend so this week is a chance to do things before Bella arrives at the weekend.
The front gate fell apart in the postie’s hands so needed to be replaced.
The debris from the felled trees needed clearing before the grass starts to grow.
Lots of plants planted up - by growing them in pots we avoid having the rabbits dig them up.
We have changed the fencing around the stables which meant installing a new pedestrian gate - luckily we had a spare gate so that has been fitted.

Catch up, again.
So the car has gone and we now have this
A Toyota Auris Hybrid. Even less reason to look under the bonnet.
Then a family get together for my sister’s 70th birthday.
And now we have the first of three sets of grandchildren.
And there is always homework that needs doing. This time it was mountain building.

Busy days.
Yesterday was the village coffee morning and the afternoon was spent helping a neighbour with his computer.
Today was a caravan day! We have decided to sell the caravan and a prospective purchaser is calling on Tuesday to collect it. So it had to be cleaned and emptied. When the caravan has gone we can pick up our replacement vehicle - we dont need the big car now so we have bought a Toyota Aurus hybrid!
