Apologies if you think I've been neglecting my blog duties recently. We've had some fantastic friends staying with us since last Wednesday and my attentions have been focused on the important things in life like eating, drinking and guitar hero. We've had a major cook off over the last 5 days, culminating in some locally grown duck breast on Saturday night followed up with a binge session of creme brulees. Friday night was steak night which were barbecued to perfection, I'd expect nothing less from Russell.
In between times we've managed to off load a van full of hay, mend the ride on mower and cut some grass, make some progress on the pizza oven and have a thouroughly good time in the process.
Depressingly though Lucy and Russell had to return to their hectic city life and we have descended into a proper Norman autumn. Today has been overcast with a fine mist of sideways rain soaking everything in it's path. I chose to hide away in the log shed cutting the first load of logs for the impending winter that seems to be creeping up on us far too rapidly.
On the socialising front, we're having a medieval banquet on 29th October to celebrate my friend Davids 60th birthday and my 37th. After that things will be quiet until just before New Years when we look well on track to having a full house. As for next year, just to really confuse people, our annual May Party will be at the beginning of June. This is because the bank holiday that it usually coincides with has also been moved to the beginning of June and, on the brighter side of things, a bonus bank holiday Tuesday has been added to the week to celebrate the queens jubilee.

Seems you're getting in practice now!!! Have checked medieval banquets on google - would suggest that you change it to a stone age feast, would be much easier I think. Looking forward to the results. See you soon. Mum xxx
