Year: 2020

We had a windy walk with Ellie in the drizzle.

I met up with the Red Hatter girls in the afternoon and we went to the Theatre Royal Margate for the annual Police Panto. We go every year and they always give us a mention and come and talk to us in the interval. Today’s panto was the Wizard from Auss.

The local police put the production on each year and all the money raised goes to charity. They only have 4 performances, so are frequently forgetting their lines but of course that adds to the comedy value.

Down to the park for the dog walk and of course, the kids had their Unicones on the way home. They must be mad, it was cold.

The morning was spent working on Grandad’s allotment,it seems to have been left behind since gaining my one and the kids each have a patch there too. Here’s Josie with a handful of leeks for dinner.

I bought Chinese checkers from the shop on Monday and the kids love it so they had another game while I cooked dinner. This time it was dinner for all of us as Lou and Rhys were coming to collect the kids. They had a good time and Lou mentioned to the hotel it was a belated Valentine break away and so they had red roses on their breakfast table and red heart shaped serviettes, that was nice. But the restaurant that they wanted to visit the previous evening was closed on Tuesdays…. typical!

We took Ellie and then shortly afterwards Lou and Rhys arrived with the kiddlies. They were staying with us while mum and dad had a belated Valentine night away. So of course, we were off to the allotment with Ollie, Oscar and Josie.

They worked really hard, back for lunch and then back to the allotment again in the afternoon.

We all worked hard and got a lot done. Back home and a walk for Roddie and Ellie followed by dinner. The kids then started painting their signs for their vegetables which they are doing on stones.

A busy day!

Demelza for the day and we were much busier. All the games are half price so I bought a couple for when the kids stay.

Another very wet day but the wind wasn’t so bad but no way could we go to the allotment. Lou came round with Ollie, Oscar and Josie and I cooked a roast and I always send a plate home for Rhys as he is working. I also cook liver and bacon and send that back for him as he loves it.

It rained and rained!

We walked Ellie before the rain started. We called into the Co op while we were out. The rest of the day was indoors, not much else to do outside in the bad weather.

I went shopping while Mal walked Ellie. I thought I would get it done before the storms come tomorrow.

In the afternoon we went to the allotment to make sure everything was secure. One lot of rhubarb is coming along well.

In the evening we jointly prepared a 3 course meal with champagne. We didn’t want to go out, much cosier at home and we can eat out anytime when restaurants don’t overcharge! Everything has become far too commercialised and maybe people forget what it is all about (Valentine’s day).
