Friends to stay

A lovely weekend was had, Lorraine and Blythe came up mid-week during their half term break... the boys were back at school but that still left plenty of hours of get together time! Jeremy followed on a couple of days later when we finally had the heating sorted! (yes during the coldest stint, when the thermometer went down to -7c we were reliant on our stove and open fire for heat and lucky for us we have an immersion heater!)
Saturday heralded the arrival of a hired toy for Tom.... a mini digger for him to churn up the garden further... sorry relandscape the garden in readiness for the transformation to come! I got mardy and spent most of the day indoors having time-out whilst the others had a great big bonfire that burnt all the ripped out shrubs and stumps! And of course the many chess games with the boys.. even the biggest one got in on the game!
Thanks guys for a lovely few days... for coming prepared with your gardening gear.. and being our friends despite our failings!
See you soon! Time for us to come down to you.... a chance to have some quality "Hot tub" time!(that's my idea of spending time out in the garden!
