Today....

Today we went to town to get a few things. We took mum, who was in the grumpiest of moods, as she hates going out, and her legs hurt(wont use a wheelchair either)!. Shame about this, as she can't be left alone, so we have to deal with it, or not go out........well, there are other options that I may persue yet.

I bought two sets of dowsing rods on ebay for C and I, and may give her them before her birthday in the middle of November, as they are such fun to use and a great unusual skill. We shall go up to the castle and see what we can find. Apparently, there is a cold spot there and I know exactly where it is now! The castle is pulling me for some reason, so I will go asap. Never know, may find a knight in shining armour thereabouts!! Also we will pick all the damsons we can up there, that otherwise will go to waste, then make lots of jam in the breadmaker when we get back!

C has a favourite food....smoked salmon, cream cheese and bagels! Wonder where she developed those tastes, eh??!!!!

We have finished Ingo, and are now on The Tide Knot! All those pages of reading aloud.......and C has the sore throat!

That's all for today!
;)

Someone's favourite castle

Very old pic of my fave local castle
Bodiam castle in East Sussex

Ingo

Before sleeping, it was 3 chapters last night! On waking, it was 3 chapters and at lunch time it was 2 chapters! Yes, I know that Ingo is Ciara's beloved book!(Plus she fancies Faro)! Tonight we will have got at least half-way through.....and thank goodness I bought the sequel, The Tide Knot! ( we are also learning about homophobes at the same time) ! Learning can, and is fun!
The piano lesson went really great too, Ciara swoons over the classical pieces!

More tomorrow!

The Bothy by the castle

View over fields from below the castle ruins. The day was a misty moisty autumnal afternoon......
A bothy with living roof! Legend has it that the castles' owner's daughter lives here? Is there room for my strawbale house in the creepy woods of the grounds??
Interesting tree roots....... Do you see the woodland elf in the top left-hand corner?
C on the first steps to the ruins. If you look through the castle arch, it looks surreal.....prolly my cheap camera?

We got muddy and it was great fun!
