It was still stormy this morning which gave a perfect excuse for a lie-in. By the afternoon the showers had stopped and it was lovely to find the whole family working outside on various tasks. Peter was chain sawing and splitting some logs which are now filling the sitting room with a wonderful beech smell from the fire which is making the place very cosy. I got more weeding done as well.
Romas and Vicky have done lots of outside work for me including trimming the big leylandii hedge and the beech hedge. Now we have a much better view of the woodland field across the stream. They also pulled up most of the stinging nettles in and around the chickens' run.
This evening we all wrapped up well and sat outside enjoying another of Peter's excellent barbecues. 3 kinds of home made sausage with marinaded chicken and pork strips . It sounds a lot but it was a little of each to enjoy the taste with a big green salad. Now we are going to sit by a log fire and watch the extended edition of Avatar (not 3-D).
