Sophie was off to London this morning so I took her and Daisy down to the station and made sure she was able to get her ticket easily. I said goodbye and called into Aldi on the way home to buy the newspaper and some rolls for breakfast. I called Keith to say I was on my way home and to start cooking the sausages when the traffic all ground to a halt. I wasn't sure what was happening but after about fifteen minutes of crawling along I realised it was a Steam Engine probably making its way to a nearby show and it was holding us all up!
It must have been going about 0.0001 miles an hour and had a vehicle with it warning us all it was going slow...duh! I really don't think a vehicle that slow should be allowed on the roads and I dread to think what the traffic was like behind me as the road I was on was quite a busy route! Luckily it pulled onto the path and we were all able to get past and speed away. I was hungry!
After breakfast I took Mike to Brixworth and when I arrived home Keith had sold the bike! I was a bit worried that the woman was either a) not going to turn up at all or b) say it wasn't suitable so I was overjoyed to discover that it had all gone very smoothly. Job done!
To celebrate we went and did some gardening and I have to say that when I finished I was very happy with how the garden looked. I dug a load of earth into the rat run at the back of the border and put a big stick in the opening. It probably won't stop our furry friend but it may slow him down a bit!
Monty came out with us and had a mad moment in one of the bushes. I have no idea what he was up to but he seemed to be enjoying himself!
