Month: October 2018

Another beautiful day and we went for a long walk with Ellie.

I met up with the Red Hatters at lunchtime. This time we went to the Belle Vue in Pegwell. It was so nice we sat outside in the garden, overlooking the sea.

We made more plans of fun things to do in the future.  Most of the things we plan seem to involve eating!

Thought for the Day – “It’s easy to stand with the crowd. It takes courage to stand alone.”

I have heard from David that Lena and Willy have their house up for sale in Cyprus. They lived the other side of the road from us and had kennels. It seems people have been complaining about the noise. They never appreciated us as good neighbours never making a complaint!! I am wondering if it is Soner, the man who bought our house. Margaretha tells me they are moving to Lapta.

Mal and I took Ellie around the orchards and collected a few more windfall apples.

We then went and bought some plants at the garden centre. I planted them out in the afternoon and he went to the allotment. I then went to have a mamogram. They have evidently decided not to stop at age 70 but will probably continue until age 72 but you may request one after that age. My sister had breast cancer, so I make sure I always attend.

In the evening Mal went to the local Labour  meeting.

Thought for the Day – “Be grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with the people you love. Life is so very precious.”

Demelza day. Jack is now manager as Lauren is on maternity leave. We had a good busy day.

My dinner was ready when I arrived home.

Lou had some good news she has been accepted for the London Marathon next year.

I made an apple crumble in the morning. Plenty of perfectly good apples left in the orchards, windfalls with no damage.

We went to Lou and Rhys’s for lunch, of course I took the crumble with us. We had a lovely lunch. Rhys has been doing a lot of airport runs and so he had a sleep and we took the dogs for a walk along the beach.  Grandad was being a bit silly (as usual) in the photo.

When we were back at their house we watched an episode of “Travels with my Dad” with Jack Whitehall. Very funny.

Mal took Ellie walking and I went shopping early. I have just discovered that Homebase is back at Westwood. It changed to Bunnings but is now back  to Homebase again! It happened to be the only place that I could get special picture frame hangers that I was after.

At last plenty of runner beans. They are my favourite vegetable and also it seems the favourite of the  local rabbits and slugs! Mal has kept putting more and more in until he was successful. I think he will have to cage them next year.

They were delicious.

Rain in the afternoon…..Spurs won!

So pleased to see this, someone at last cares!

“We’ve discovered 1000’s of APPLES at risk of going to waste on another two farms in Kent! But these delicious fruits are perfectly edible and nutritious, so we’re setting out to save as much as possible – and we NEED YOUR HELP. The more volunteers we have, the more food we can save!

On Friday 12th October 11am – 4pm (tbc) we’re inviting volunteers to the farm near Sandwich to help harvest delicious apples and possibly some pears.

On Monday 15th October 11am-4pm (tbc) we’re heading to a farm near Tonbridge where we’ll be harvesting apples.

All these scrumptious fruits will then be donated to charities that feed people affected by food poverty”

An update on Amazon, Tris’s present still has not arrived and Amazon say it is obviously lost and they have no more….too much of a coincidence when they have taken the money already. I know Mal won’t let this one rest.

We had a nice walk with Ellie in the sun again.

Mal did a bit of Hammeriting. I went and had my hair cut. I tried a new place in Sandwich, very expensive but at least it was better than the last hair cut I had.

In the evening we went to Edessa in Sandwich, a Turkish restaurant. It was the real warm Turkish hospitality and Filiz, our waitress wanted to spend all evening speaking Turkish to us. It is surprising how much we have forgotten already. I had the levrek and Mal the kleftico, it was just like being back in Cyprus! I am sure we will visit many more times.

Oh dear not a good start to the morning. Mal ordered Tristan’s birthday present on Amazon and Mal received an email this morning saying the parcel is on it’s way!! His birthday has gone.  I did suggest to Mal that we buy the present and give it to Tris on his last visit. Mal insisted he buy it through Amazon Prime. Men get a little stubborn as they age! Of course he then spent over an hour on the phone complaining.

They promised to email him immediately. Joke…three hours later…nothing!

We went to the orchards and they have harvested a lot of the apples but I am sad to say that they leave so many behind, obviously not the right size or shape. There was also a whole orchard with a lot of apples that had split , incorrect watering is why that happens.

I am really wondering why people from the food banks don’t pick up on all this food waste.

Thought for the Day – “Don’t treat people as bad as they are, treat them as good as you are.”
