No teas today but plenty of jobs needed sorting out, I took the strimmer to the verge across from Buckle Yeat, the council contractor passed this way the other day but the grass cutter did not touch the verge.
A fan failed in one of the bathrooms so I went to the electrical contractors in Hawkshead and managed to get a replacement.
A couple checked in for the weekend,they are now living in St Lucia, they must be our first visitors from that part of the world.
We went a walk this afternoon down the Dub then out at Eel house, were we met Gordon who lives there and had a bit of a crack with him before setting of with his warning ringing in our ears "beware of the snakes" through the woods to Cunsey, thanks Gordon.
