Monday and we are absolutely flat out all day...phew!!
Talon who has Trove shop across the road has the right idea!!
Before we know it Thomas is back from school...and we are still packing orders!!
He enjoys scouts as usual.
Tuesday is another busy one..
Grey clouds circle ..but no rain..
I go over to Tom's class in the afternoon and do craft ...fun.
We have finally had confirmation the Lioba , John's 16 year old daughter, will be visiting Australia in August. I spend alot of time booking various flights to Sydney etc...very exciting!!
The Carpark construction continues..
We dash up to the hill after work..the light is fading quickly..but we manage to do a bit more digging of the foundations.
Then its home to snuggle down.
Wednesday is chilly out.
I wear my SharkSkin today..
Again we are busy through the morning with orders...
The day passes quickly..
We plan to go up on the hill ..but when the time comes...decide it is too much effort for little daylight time...both very tired today..
The carpark construction is ever present..
We all have an early night.
Thursday is chilly start with drizzle.. I layer up to go to Garden..and find that I have to take layers off during the morning. We tidy the Poytunnel while it rains...then harvest the Granny Smith apples.
..finishing with planting out Leeks...then its cuppa time..and a shared feast of offerings brought for the morning.
Liz is very excited to show us the first pine nut cones that have been produced by the tree in the picture above. She planted it 12 years ago...
The afternoon is spent doing orders..
Hannah is home for the day... we enjoy having her here..
We have a cosy dinner then watch David Attenborough DVD
The working week finishes with orders and a few customers..
After work I join a group of women at the Top Pub for a drink and chat..
Then its home to snuggle in for the night.
Saturday and John has an early start heading to Salamanca Market first thing.
Tom and I have a bit of a sleep in.
Hedwig ( and General Grievous) takes John's place at the breakfast table.(Thanks to Tom)
I spend the morning doing chores and bake an Orange poppy seed cake...while Tom enjoys his lego.
It is a cool morning...
The swans are back..
John is home by mid -morning. We potter about , have lunch then go up on the hill.
I collect a couple of boxes of sticks for kindling...while John hacks at some gorse in the lower paddock. Thomas delights in wading about in the dam!!
Spot John hard at work...
Thomas likes to stalk John...creeping up so quietly..
Back home we have an very early dinner and head to Kingston Beach Hall to help Paul and Bob (and a small team of others) set up the "Green's" Book Fair. Paul has graciously let us come tonight so John can buy books before Fair begins..
We call in to The Beach Cafe for dessert..but they are so flat out , we bail out and go home instead.
Tom is just as happy with a Kit Kat.!!
Good to be home on a cold night..
