Friday 16th October: This morning the cloud rolled halfway down the hills and lurked there all day. At tea-time it rolled the rest of the way and drizzled on us.
We were busy all day around the house. It was nice to spend the whole day at the house with nowhere else to be.
I planted some tree seeds to see what will happen - conkers, acorns, pine cone seeds and walnuts. I also used the rotorvator to dig over an area for the boys to use as a digging area. Steve wanted to move a large wooden unit that had housed the old wall oven and has been stored in one of the garages since. However it proved rather heavy to move round to his new workshop (the old tackroom and stable) so he used an old technique to solve the problem. He took a leaf out of the book of those that built Stonehenge (perhaps) by using a series of wooden posts to roll the cabinet over. Edward and Peter were happy to help moving the posts from one end to the other.
Peter and Jonathan also enjoyed a new game where Peter takes Jonathan for rides around the garden in the trolley we found in the garden when we bought the house. Jonathan clings on and squeals with delight as Peter bumps and tips him as he runs around!
