Sandy's Mill

A day off – hurrah!  No reason, just a random day off.  I need to take more random days off. TT was off to work and BB was still in bed, so  I started my day by dipping into my new book  It was then a few chores and later in the morning I realised I needed to feed the boy, so I popped out for a few things for lunch.  I bumped into the mum of one of BB’s friends.  We compared notes on teenage boys!  When I got home I found BB doing some chemistry revision – and was very pleasantly surprised. 
 
After lunch I left him to study, and I went out for a walk.  I decided to walk out along the river, as we haven’t been that way in a very long time.  The path was quite dry and it was a lovely wander.  I walked as far as Sandy’s Mill, then up to Beanston and home along the ridge past the ruins.  BB was out playing football when I returned.  I made aloo gobi for tea, which went down well alongside paneer and peas.    BB and I started to watch a movie this evening, but we both got bored and both gave up on it.
