Busy, busy, busy

So where have I been while David has been fishing and blogging? Well - obviously looking after "the boys & girls" of Sorley, but also enjoying my birthday.

One of the chucks "eggcelled" (thank you, Darren) herself the other day by laying a huge egg - over 100g in weight and 6.5cm circumference! Makes my eyes water to think of it! Unfortunately I do not know which one of the chucks laid it so you can all claim it was yours!


I have had a super birthday - it started with a lovely walk, dinner and bubbly at friends in Bovey Tracey, - a jaunt out to "Diggers Rest" to meet Lynne and Les, and then a "girly" weekend with Claire involving a pamper day at Bovey Castle (present from my beloved), shopping in Salcombe, and river/estaury walks. Just perfect - David only joined us for one of these activities - I wonder which one that could have been! For anyone wanting to come down I can now recommend a girls day out at Bovey Castle while the boys play with tractors and the like!


Have also being doing some paid work - a conference on Geneva and more next week in London. I had to fly from Heathrow and had forgotten what driving near London was like - but after 3 cars pushing in I soon got back into the swing of it. I am now re-programmed for laid-back country lane driving and the hedgerows are just so pretty just now .


On the way back I went with Jo and Lynne to order "the dress". Absolutely gorgeous and very exciting although the wedding is not until next April (....just thought must have another pamper day before the wedding - anyone want to come?)


Must sign off as yet more painting to do before we have our first summer visitors to the Wheelhouse - now with ensuite toilet upstairs
