I'm enjoying reading about the wonderfful activities you have all been doing. I will own up to having been a bit lazy this weekend. The dining room is getting really cluttered with the kitchen stuff, and Ernie won't be able to put the stove in for at least 10 days - he isn't back from the US till Saturday, and I am away until the following Tuesday. I will then have to take my turn with the other work that has piled up.

Meanwhile, I will be needing to store crockery and pans somewhere. At least the bulk of them can go away into a shed or the annexe, as I will only need the minimum.

Today's plan? Flower festival across the road in the church, and a village food and craft fair up the road at Ford. Lots of nice plants and handmade soapy things there. Might look for a present for a new friend of mine from this area, whose mum died yesterday (very peacefully) after a long, hard battle with Parkinson's disease.
