First thing this morning, at work, I had a visit from Ginny and Phillip who run another play area similar to ours and we sat and had a coffee and a chat. It was great to have a gossip and compare stories especially as they have had some really bizarre things happen to them over the summer! For me, it puts it all into perspective!
While I was sitting with Ginny and Phillip, Sophie and Keith arrived. My daughter was off to London today with some friends to see The 1975 at the Alexandra Palace and was staying with Laura who is studying in the capital. She was very excited!
I dropped her off at Danni's house at 11am, just as Booker arrived with our delivery! Typical! Luckily Keith was able to offload it all for me and when I got back from taxiing Sophie, he had resumed cutting the really long grass in our car park. It had been left too long, to be honest, and it was hard work for him!
After our busy day at work we decided to go for a really long walk, as you do... We had some unfinished business with the Nature Reserve so we walked down to the point where we'd left it on Sunday and resumed the trail around the perimeter until we neared the village. On the way we saw squirrels, the odd rabbit and lots of pheasants who were rummaging for food in the adjoining fields. Every time we neared them they flew up in a panic, making their weird cries which echoed through the woods! Some of them, on the path ahead of us, ran about in a panic as we approached them. How could we let them know we didn't have a gun with us?!
We were out for an hour and a half so it was bliss to get home, have a bath and then sit in the conservatory playing cards with a drink. As Sophie was away tonight we cooked cottage pie...the only time we can have it!
