Sister Act

Hectic this morning, Angie shooting off to Ottobeuren to get the weekly shopping done, I walk dogs then start on trying to get rid of a pile of logs that still needed splitting and storing. There are lots more piles elsewhere to be tackled but this pile is in the way when the horse grass munching season starts hopefully in a few weeks. At the moment, they continue to nibble at what they can find on the churned up winter field.

Angie then out for a ride and got back just as brother in law Geerhard drove in with two of her sisters and a trailer full of old garden furniture from a friend in Munich who has had to move in to a home.

 So while the three sisters got in to full verbal flow mode, Gerhard and I filled the now empty trailer with a few tractor bucket loads of horse manure for his garden. Although he could get free local horse manure, he, for some unknown reason, likes to keep it in the family. So his very packed greenhouse and vegetable garden will nhopefully profit gain this year from Angie and my hard mucking out work.

Lovely late afternoon coffee and cake followed by an evening snack, beer, Hugo and lots of talk. Never enough time. Good to see them and shame it doesn't happen more often nowadays - one or more or all of us seem to have an ache or pain that means we don't feel like travelling the 160km distance that separates us. Thanks Gerhard for the chauffeuring.
