Wayne and Sheryl arrived from America and stayed a few weeks at East Reen.  I went away for a weeks holiday during their stay and returned to a beautifully painted conservatory (thank you Wayne).  All my cupboards in the kitchen beautifully tidied and labelled (many thanks Sheryl).  They cleared and tidied too many things to mention and my life became easier because of this,  the wooden model boat Wayne brought back to life is in pride of place on a window sill in the hall.

We always looked forward to Friday night Fish & Chips at the pub in Union Hall. So warm & cozy on a dark rainy night.
