sunshine at last

Four days of sunshine - just as promised by weather gurus.. sea never looked so blue - sky too.. after months of El Nino. We had pancakes - a touch of fresh lime juice adds magic to taste of maple syrup and butter.

The beef cattle are fat, shiny and ready for market.

I put up Michelin maps of Africa, on the wall, yes old-fashioned paper ones - they still have a charm.

A family called Howard from South Africa booked into the Garden House, but they haven't arrived.

We admired the view from a newly-concreted silage floor away out on the sandhills - all done in two days by Thomas, Colin, and Dee who wore out two rakes. So far nearly 300m2, enough for a house and you should see the outlook!
