2nd May Bank Holiday

It has been a good weekend. We bought a scarifier at Uncle Harvey's suggestion, and what a great power tool that is! It made such a mess of the lawn, but in doing so it pulled up loads of dead grass and invasive moss. I look forward to the next time it gets used because it is so satisfying to dredge up all that old dead stuff.


We also met up with some new friends whose kids go to the primary school. They moved here from Guernsey - so exotic! They are really nice people and their kids are fun to be with, too. We all went for a walk in the forest and had snacks at the Llama Park near Wych Cross.

 In the late afternoon, there was a community BBQ at the Jubilee green. We all went to that as well, and it was exactly how a community BBQ should be: relaxed, easy, casual, social and fun. It didn't go on for too late and we just walked home when it was finished. All good!
Tomorrow is back to work for me, but the kids have half term now for a week so they get to lie in and watch telly, etc. Lucky!
