Leakeyvale Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Despite a bad start I managed to get to Shepton Mallet this morning but what really pleased me was a message on my voicemail on my return. Number 1 son calling from Gretna Green where he and his partner of 10 or more years have just got married! I am REALLY pleased by that.

BC Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The weather again today.... it was showing 22 degrees on the car temperature gauge this afternoon. In fact I spent most of the day outside tinkering and fitting new bits to a rotovator....washed two cars and scarified part of the folks lawn...before having a late brunch and then arriving home 2 hours later ...usually the 17 mile journey would take 30 minutes but I had too many pits stops to speak and take photos of folk working the land and making the dust fly ....oh I really do like weather like this......long may it continue ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 It just shows that your children can still surprise you Sue - did you have an 'inkling'? None, Jo. I knew it was Lesley's birthday and they both had a long weekend free so Simon was treating her to a stay in a Michelin star hotel in Ullswater (I think).

BC Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Being told yesterday by Costco if I took back my broken down washing machine ( less than 2 years old) and would get a full refund and I could purchase a new one for £ 299.98. In effect I will get new one for £ 18 which is a lot better than paying £ 119 for a call out and time with free parts. Washing machines don't seem to last long with me for whatever reason.
