Sorry for the gap in communication, we’ve been having computer trouble and as our time is running out in the UK, we have been on the trot.
Winter is here!! Our huge house is lovely and warm,with the aga, central heating and the open fire. It is dark at 4 30 pm. We will be driving to and from work in the dark. Last week on a work day, we woke to snow!! 2.5 degrees for most of the day!! We were potting baskets!! The fingers were dropping off They do things here at the wrong time of the year, we think!!! But they are looking OK, pollys, pansies, ivy and hyacinths!! The gladioli I planted never flowered, they will be all ready for next year!!
Autumn colours are spectacular. Leaves are everywhere, spent yesterday racking them!! For a change it was sunny, a beautiful day, up to 15 degrees.
At Tedsmore they are running out of jobs for us, so have given us the delightful experience of painting much neglected windows on one of their rental houses. Vern and Graeme have used cans of bog!! Val and I the sanders!!
We are enjoying the pub scene; we are into watching the rugby at the moment!! Friday night we got involved with a darts interclub, and last night with a domino evening, great friendly folk.
