As I mentioned earlier, Kathryn, Gavin Declan and Cameron came for a week's holiday a little earlier this month and a great time was had by all, helped by the fact that we had some really good weather, with lots of sunshine. We started collecting apples; we collected a big bucket and a half of walnuts; continues picking raspberries to put in the freezer (can you imagine picking raspberries in october, something cannot be quite right!!); the chickens did us proud and we enjoyed a number of omolettes and sponge cakes !!
