Just spent a couple of days up at Boggart Hall preparing for the upcoming weekend; got lots of people coming but the weather looks set to be pretty awful. I think we might get a bit crowded in the little house.<\/p>\n

However, have bought a large pile of materials for the gables and ceiling with Elmo’s birthday contributions (*THANK YOU!*) so we can be working on that, plus the tiling and the rest of the claying.<\/p>\n

\"Lea<\/p>\n

The weather was lovely while we were up there, and Lea came to stay a couple of days and was enormously helpful with strimming and pulling up weeds. The place really was looking like a jungle, but we strimmed most of it and pulled some stuff up by the roots in a few places, so hopefully it’ll be a couple of weeks (!) before it all needs doing again.<\/p>\n

\"EatingIt was warm and dry enough to eat outdoors, which was lovely, although I have a few midge bites for my trouble.<\/p>\n

\"crumble\"I made a fruit crumble with some blueberries (not my own yet) and some rhubarb from the patch that Lea unearthed from under all the weeds.<\/p>\n

\"GaddingsAfter supper we walked up to Gaddings Dam to have a look at the swimming place, which Lea was keen to see. It was a bit cold for a dip, but I’m looking forward to it next time it gets warm. If it ever gets warm.<\/p>\n

\"WalkingThe sun had set by the time we walked back to the car. A beautiful view of the town and a lovely, inviting looking pub, but we didn’t stop for a drink. An early night and a long day of work the next day seemed more important! The place looks good now and is ready for an influx on Saturday.<\/p>\n
