First; trips away have included, Gairloch, Newton Stewart again and Braemar. Next one; West Highland Way.
Second; the house is still being decorated inside and out and the vegetables are making slow progress in the garden.
Third; Horse...Bertie went yesterday. I had one last ride of this lovely boy and then he was off to a riding place near Aviemore. I will have to pay to ride him now but at least I will get to have a nice canter on him and he won't be so lonely as he has been. I was heartbroken though as to me he is the perfect horse...just too wide and not having my own land presented difficulties.
Fourth; Land. Getting nowhere except for some allotments which are underway in Grantown. I am now on the official allotment group and we will hopefully be getting one sooner or later.
Fifth; Railway. Ralph is still training to be a fireman but was severly compromised yesterday when the train was started and moved while he was between the carriages....I was nearly a widow. Not good.
Canoe; I bought a lightweight canoe then found out it was kneeling only...whoops. It will have to go back down to Leeds for re-sale, totally unused! What a twit, I had no idea kneeling ones existed. (I've got bad knees) Finally got some bars and Ralph invented a device so I can load my own kyack (but that was only yesterday so still have no trips to report).
Sixth; Visitors, brother and mum in law. 2 others that were expected are ill. Very very sad situation.
Lastly; Dad. He continues to be frail and ill much of the time with glimpses of health every few days. He's not happy and it is hard to be a carer.
Oh...weather! Well, we still haven't had the extremes that others have had. Mostly just dull and showers while England drowned. 3 hot days this week so a bit of gardening...then rain today, hence the catch up.
Happy summer!
