" LAST TRAIN TO MINEHEAD STATION "

And it was too. Having spent the entire morning clearing out stuff and cleaning, I decided to walk down to the Stogumber Station with Phoebe.  As some of you know, I used to tend the gardens and I was keen to see what was still growing and also say goodbye in my own way.

I got the usual cool reception from one of the staff but fortunately they soon 'clocked off' and it left Phoebes and I to enjoy the peace.  We heard then saw a woodpecker high up in the trees.  A nuthatch was enjoying some of the nuts on the tree and it was very warm.  I had forgotten what a sun trap the station garden is.  It was pleasing to see just how many plants have survived after all these years.  I must have left over 2 years ago but the plants are thriving.  I have left my legacy.

We didn't see a train whilst we were there but on the way back up to the house, we heard the whistle, turned around and there was a train.

The other photo is of water trapped in the Alchemila ( I think that's what its called, getting late and brain has switched off).

Well we haven't exchanged contracts, haven't heard any progress news and all I know is that my Solicitor has gone away for a couple of day to play golf with his friends.  No words can convey how I feel about that!!!!!

Oh well, hope he is enjoying himself.  I now need another miracle for this whole process to come to a successful conclusion.  I'll keep taking my pills!!

Thankyou for keeping in touch and helping me to stay sane at this very stressful time. Sending hugs. xxx
