It feels like it should be way past Tuesday already. Not sure why though…
Yesterday I mostly baked I think. I made bread dough in the morning so we would have rolls for lunch. Then some more bread dough for actual bread to cook later, then two women appeared up on the croft asking after bread so I arranged to make them a couple of loaves to deliver down to the campsite for today so had to make two more batches of dough. And we needed cookies (having volunteers is great for keeping us right on providing a balance of good fruit and veg and nice home baked cookies or cakes too).
I had hoped to get outside and actually do some outdoors stuff too but was conspired against – I did relabel my pot pourri, finish reading my book about basket making and reply to some emails. I also cleaned some windows and got the kids to clean some more.
Then it was lunch time, Dave and Faye came over for cups of tea and chats, I showed Manon the fruit cage tasks and then further failed to get back outside. Ah well.
Down the shop for veg collection, a beer and some chit chat and then home to make dinner. The kids had got what they thought was a pack of bacon out of the freezer but turned out to be a pack of pork chops, so Davies went back down to the shop to get some bacon while I got dinner started and we watched Doctor Who and had a later than planned dinner.
Today was a castle shift this morning, with Davies, Scarlett, Dave & Faye and Manon all coming down half an hour before we finished so they could have a look around the castle. Faye has never been round before and we took the opportunity for Manon to have a look too. Then they all left to come back to the crofts – Davies, Scarlett and Manon for lunch, while Ady and I popped along to collect some carpet offcuts from Mike & Deb and have a quick look at Jinty’s new barbecue cabin before coming home for lunch.
It rained all afternoon so I spent time researching new curtains for the caravan online, Ady did some carpet laying and we all chatted about ways to make the caravan more homely / cosy / nice this winter. Showers for Ady and I as we felt all castle grimy, then a nice dinner of the pork chops!
