It has been a wet day and so consequently Hill Top closed early having sold out of tickets by about 3.30pm. They cut the number allowed in during wet days, I bet the National Trust accountants must pray for dry weather.

I forgot to mention yesterday Aled Jones the former boy soprano and presenter of Songs Of Praise was in the village in the morning, I'm not sure what he was doing but it will no doubt become apparent.

Today in the post we received a sample of a new product about to hit shelves, a Buckle Yeat fridge magnet, we have sanctioned production and they should be here tomorrow, at £1.99 they are a gift.





Still raining so the walk is off and I will have to use Matthew and Sarah's shots from the other day.
