Monday

And goodbye to these beautiful people who have been here several times before and will return in October for some surfing when the Atlantic swell should provide them with some good waves.
Some return to Portsmouth some to Moldova.
Plenty of laundry to tackle but a quiet patch as children and students return to their studies.
I prepared a meat and vegetable hotpot for supper and it simmered on the aga all afternoon.
B had an issue with his van and it conked out on its way up the hill into Westleigh. Several hours wait for the recovery vehicle required Dippy, A and I to rescue the angry B and a quick visit to the westleigh inn for a hot chocolate was required to calm him down.
A pleasant evening included a stroll around the sheep filled fields with 5 of the six resident dogs, Dippy preferring to herd the sheep rather than chase a stick with his close family.
A fruit tea with lovely company helped to polish off a lovely day here.
