It was a sunny start to what developed into a busy, full day. The first thing that happened was Matthew took a telephone call offering him the job with Severn Trent Water he had applied for, great news!

I then set off after breakfast to Kendal and bought some masonry paint and some treatment to get rid of the lichen on the gable end at Buckle Yeat. When I got back I took the bull by the horns and applied the anti-fungicidal treatment to the the wall, if we get a couple of good dry days forecast I can get on with painting Buckle Yeat white.

A quick run round the garden with the lawnmower for the first time this year, then we had a walk up to Moss Eccles.
We dropped back down into the village and went into the Tower Bank and met Matthew and his gran and grandad for a celebration drink. Then home for tea.
