We worked all day on the deck, then went to the Coach and Horses for a drink with Bettina, Ole, Casper and Anna Louisa. It was a really hot day today (around 75 F in a sheltered sun lit spot, probably more like 65 F in the wind or shade) and we spent it digging holes for the beam posts and then starting to drill out the old concrete/ brick steps. Hard work!
Casper came over and 3 of them went to play football at the village green, then Bettina came round and offered to take them all down to the Coach and we could meet them there. Great idea! It was just coming to the end of the day and starting to cool off a bit, and it felt so indulgent to ride our bikes down the lane to the pub and enjoy the garden with our friends.
Meanwhile the kids were drawn to the sand box, as always! We rode bikes home, which is always a bit of a struggle since it is uphill going home. So there was a bit of grumbling but we made it.
A great day, all in all.
