Slack bloggers R us !
Monday I have no idea what sort of dementia our sat nav has (she is a lady in her doteage – we call her Sally and in satnav years I consider her to be in her late 70s) but she led us on a merry dance to Glastonbury. The Pajero speedo is still in kph although the actual dial is in mph which means it reads as 100mph when you are doing nothing even close. So Sally is now set to gauge speed for us, which she does well but it appears to be at the cost of her going all scatty about where she is actually taking us and we can only have one reading at a time so have taken off the miles to go or estimated time of arrival in favour of her telling us what speed we are going in mph. Oh the decisions 😉
Past Stone Henge which always feels surreal and eventually the Tor came in to view and we commented on what someone had said to us on our first visit to Glastonbury a year ago ‘If you come back once you’ll keep coming back’. It’s certainly proved the case for us, here again a year on from our first time staying here.
When we arrived Jill was in a meeting with a couple who are having their wedding reception here later this month and we met the last time we were here. We had a chat with them about our impending adventures as they left and finally caught up with Jill.
All of the puppies are now sold and infact we were around to help make the decision as to who the last puppy went to. In a very Glastonbury fashion two people had appeared both interested in him via different sources and both were vicars in south London. Jill was texting / emailing them both yesterday evening and we were rooting for the one called Frazer Day (which is so close to my brothers name it’s uncanny). He rang at 9pm last night to say yes please he’d like the puppy and could he come and collect it next weekend which had us all cheering :). Having met the puppies, gorgeous as they are I am not upset we won’t be taking one – I am still set on a collie bitch 🙂 Davies and Scarlett are of course utterly smitten but have a different favourite puppy each, neither of which is the one that was last to be sold.
We had a really evening – Ady and I cooked veggie lasagne for everyone which was very delicious. I love how we are able to just come here, find our way round J&J’s kitchen and cook for everyone and feel so at home here.
It was late and the wrong side of lots of empty bottles that we came back to our cottage last night…
Today Ady has done some digging in the garden while I have done some copy writing and marketing type stuff. The kids have been off up to the Tor with Maggie, built a Danny Champion of the world pheasant and keeper down in the woods out of mud (it’s fabulous, will upload photos later) and generally been off all day doing their own thing. I love the freedom they have here and the outdoorsyness and creativity it inspires.
This evening Jill cooked and we had another boozy evening over there. Tomorrow is our last day and night before heading off on Thursday – it’s gone very quickly!
