Saturday, 28th September 2024 - Logs at Howfield

We are looking after friends hens while they are holidaying in Italy. Tim and I fed the chickens and collected their eggs. A perk of our job is that they are very keen and competent gardeners. We have had red and yellow tomatoes, courgettes and raspberries. Fabulous.

This afternoon we swung by High Brooms to do a bit of shopping in Aldi and return some plumbing bits to Toolstation. The rest of the afternoon and early evening we spent at Nick and Alli's with Si, Lesley, Mick and Lucy. Nick had enticed some crayfish into a net with tinned sardines. After a purge and a plunge into boiling water we peeled them. They were delicious fried in butter, garlic and chilli. Alli cooked us a mutton curry and a veggie one. She is a wonderful cook. Lucy had made a massive and very yummy frangipane tart. Very lovely it was drizzled with her homemade damson gin sauce. Such talented friends. 

I am very very proud of our granddaughter Raffy who came second in her climbing competition today. Harriet sent me a video of her climbing with harness and ropes and had four climbs with only one attempt at each one. Amazing. Well done Raffy.
