So this is what retirement is all about is it? Looked after the Popster last weekend and it would have been rude not to fotograph now wouldnt it! Poppy has taken to squeaking and squealing. It is funny.Me and Gill had a great time with her and she did too! Went singing last Saturday...have decided not to again. It doesnt help when one cant read music or scales so Ive bailed out. Went away with Gill to warwickshire for a few days too. Stayed at an old favourite B and B not bad for £30 a night all in. Clean tidy with exposed beams, a converted set of barns. Did 8 National trusts in 3 days. Nearly burnt myself out. Gill could do 8 in a day! Went to Mosley Old Hall yesterday which is a Jacobean property. Had a 50 minute talk from a volunteer who was excellent. Charles II stayed at the house when fleeing the war in Worcs. Saw the bed he slept in and the priest hole he hid in. All good stuff for us Tudor age people. Fascinating and worth the trip just for that visit. It has spurred Gill into action to build more box hedges in the garden so we bought 250 box hedges today. Should arrive by JCB by Saturday. Shes well in creative mode as a result of the trip away. Cycling down to Pevensey to see Scott for brekkie in the morning.Catch up on the gossip. Shaun flew to Afghan last Tuesday. Dubai first then Kabul. By chance he met a mate from 3 Para at Dubai airport who is working for another firm so they flew together. He does 2 weeks training then full on. Built a bit more of the rose arbour today. Picked up 20 x 8 foot lengths of chestnut in the back of the BMW!!! I know I know..I shouldnt have! Neighbours are telling me about a drugs raid in Horam last Saturday...what..how dare they. Not in my back yard u dont! P*£s off back to the big towns like Hailsham or Bexhill or somewhere!
