2023 - Good Morning,. Afternoon, Night

Its very quiet here without SC - or, have you all gone Milling and not told me?
Its another cold day and I'm not tempted to do much outdoors. My onion sets have just arrived so I may count them for something mindless to do that doesn't involve being out in the cold!

Had a stressful morning today. My Dad and brother stayed at my Grandma's last night, having loaded up a van there with the pieces of her furniture that are coming to me, as well as the bulkier bits of mine that have been stored there since I left Grimsby. I was up at 6am to get ready for them appearing. I was very relieved that everything made it in one piece, including the china cabinet that has glass doors and sides. It even survived the utterly horrifying way in which my Dad and brother manhandled it into my house! There has been much running around to stow things safely in rooms that I had cleared over the past week, but everything is in.

There's quite a bit more to come, as my parents have done a couple of smaller trips with their car so now have all my smaller bits and pieces at their house. They've already been back with a chair and a bookcase! It's quite exciting to get all of my stuff back - haven't seen most of it in almost three years.

And I have my washing machine! No more washing my clothes in the bathtub, thank goodness. I was going to put a wash on this afternoon, but opened the door and was bowled over by the smell! Instead, it has been scrubbed inside with vinegar and then had a very long hot cycle with more vinegar in place of detergent. It's smelling a lot vetter so hopefully some actual laundry is on the cards for tomorrow.

How lovely to have your possessions (and washing machine) - and your Grandma's things -.around you again, Pros.

I’m back   .

Welcome home.

It was a very enjoyable weekend mostly. The people we were doing the milling for were lovely aging hippies. And she was a very good cook. It was a lovely place. Just a 4 acer of woodland. We were milling windfall.

                     

Some of the photos from walking the dogs when we’d finished milling.

         

         

         

Our lovely hosts have a YouTube channel

They did a couple of videos of the wood clearing that we were involved with. I had no idea they had done that. Until I just went to look at their channel   .

Looks lovely, SC. Are the aging hippies going to build a house with the wood?
EDIT - just seen the videos! You were lucky with the weather.
