Back after storm Eunice











It's been an interesting week to say the very least. Power went off last Friday at 11.00 in the face of storm Eunise and stayed off until Sunday evening. That meant no heating, lights or cooker, as well as lack of internet, but we were fortunate in having the fire in the front room and plenty of logs, hundreds of candles and the motorhome with cooking facilities. Sadly we had to lose the contents of our two freezers and our train trip to Exeter on Saturday saw the services cancelled meaning we had to drive instead.

It was great seeing Murdina and Paul plus Ewan for a few drinks and plenty of chat before we returned home to the power cut. There are a few photos from the trip and the remainder are from the new allotment which has goats and chickens next to it, plus a wonderful cafe. 

The internet remained off until this morning which meant dog walks up the hill to get 4G signal but it was all very limited. In the meantime we have had Joseph for half term and Evie and Amelia for a couple of days including sleepover. They enjoyed trips to the new allotment and to the cinema to see Sing 2. 

Fingers crossed we are now back to more settled times.

I think I have been slightly overdoing all the exercise and allotmenting lately and that culminated in feeling so physically tired on Friday...
