Bit of a test for the old back...

BRrrrr, Finley takes a dip.

 The weather is still set fine although overcast and cool here in the north.  We have had a few days with temperatures in the mid twenties though so we can't complain.

Finley and Mason have the swimming pool set up in the back garden for when it was quite warm but Finley doesn't seem to notice that it's got cool, it was about seventeen degrees when this picture was taken.  They breed em tough up north tha' knows.

Big Woman - Big Hammer.

This settled weather has enabled us to get on with making the new hard standing for the caravan now that the grass is nearly under control.  San and I have worked like little Trojans this last week.  Number two son Chris was taking up fifty or sixty three by two paving stones in his new back garden and we thought we might avail ourselves of the opportunity to have an hard surface not only under the caravan but also under the awning, and it means the next flood has to be a little deeper to get in!

Handy with a sack barrow too!

 We were going to bring the pavers in our car after we lifted them and placed four in the back with seat down, the suspension went down to it's stops so we went slowly home with just the four.  I guess they weigh something like eight stone each so it was only the equivalent to two big adults in the back!!  Anyway after getting them back to Yokefleet I decided to go and see the farmer next door and borrow his Land Rover and flat bed trailer to get the rest, it's not worth damaging the car.

four down, twenty nine to go.

A well deserved sit down for Sanny.

They have made great job and we are really pleased with the results especially at the price, or is that the Yorkshire man coming out in me.

I spoke to Pete (ex of the Katoghi) the other day and he is doing really well now.  He has got himself a job with property to live in so things seem to be taking a step in the right direction for him now.  He is coming up to see us next week, all being well, and I'm sure we'll have a serious catch up then.

We have finally got paid from the insurance company last Friday and our tenants have handed in their notice to leave the property early next month so with luck we should get a day or two's rest prior to starting the decorating fiasco.

I really don't know how we ever managed to fit in going to work.
