Another dry cold day, no breakfasts this morning, but a full house tonight.
We have two groups in a foursome and a group of eight, the eight arrived early afternoon, had a beer and a sandwich at the Tower and then went a walk, the foursome will be here at 8pm ish.
I have been trying to repair the rotary iron this afternoon, we have two and they are both prehistoric, anyway we have managed to get one in working order.
