LAST OF THE SUMMER CIDER.........

We have had a busy old week...... Bob has officially reached his bus pass age which he reckons he is claiming as soon as!! Julie and Christian arrived so it was just a small family gathering, we had planned to go out for a meal Saturday night but in the afternoon we called on some friends with windfall apples for cider making and of course we had to sample last years vintage so when it suddenly became dusk and rather worse for wear we ended up having fish and chips and went out for Sunday Lunch instead.

The weather has been perfect and for once we didn't have anything pressing to get on with......not for long!!! We had a trip out to the nursery and bought some more trees and shrubs, Bob spied a weeping willow which he thinks would look great in our boggy bit at the front, but I am worried about the roots so we left it behind and bought 3 cypress totems, placed them down the drive and very nice they look.......back to the boggy bit, we are now having a ditch dug out down the middle to the bottom and a pond established so he can have his weeping willow.  Ivan called and cut all the rough grass and Bob cut back all the brambles and trees there is a natural bowl shape there and some banking on one side will need doing....Where did a pond come from!!!!

Molly soooo loves men

Everyone left late Sunday so I had two lots of goodbyes at the airport and the day felt like a mid winter day grey and wet
