Well Gavins parents arrived safe and well and I don't think they have stopped talking since Friday. There is 3 years of gossip to catch up on. So far they have seen a lot of road and people selling sheep as we are currently trying to replenish our depleted stocks after the dog incident, which requires a fair amount of internet searching, telephoning and driving. We have been very lucky and have managed to find some very nice girls to swell the flock numbers.
We made it out for a trip on Wednesday and spent a pleasant afternoon at Brantome Police Horses meeting the residents in all their forms, looking at the latest art exhibition by Suze Turland and eating delicious tea and cake. The in-laws had a nice time I think and it was a rare event for both Gavin and I and all the children to be away from the farm together for a visit to somewhere other than family and friends. Not of course that we have any complaints about visiting our delightful family and friends.
The girls are looking forward to abandoning me again and going back to school. Well I think Number 3 is Emily would rather stay at home and watch The Food Network Channel all day.
See you all soon
Helen
