Summer 2016 ended and the garden provided a final bunch of gladioli.
I had an alcohol free September so enjoyed the Boscastle Beer festival on October 1st!
 |
| Bands played in the Rainbow Marquee. Nick on harmonica. Andy on bongo. |
We visited Sophie in Switzerland and spent plenty of time in the stylish bar she and her friends opened in Lausanne.
Birthday celebrations. 'Now I'm 64!'
I enjoy volunteering one day a week at Fremington Manor Residential Care Home.
 |
| We started tidying the rock garden in the Autumn. |
 |
| Looks nice now the bulbs are beginning to flower. |
Great excitement as Harry and his boss Andy finish installing our woodburner.
 |
| Hold on Harry! |
 |
| Storm Cowl on! |
 |
| First lighting. Need to get it up to correct temperature. |
 |
| We bought this stove over 20 years ago. We never used it but moved it between several houses and storage facilities. I'm glad it is alight at last! |
 |
| Plenty of wood thanks to Paul's lumberjack skills. |
Christmas 2016

New Year's Day 2017.
Celebrated traditionally at the Cobweb in Boscastle (and start of another alcohol free month for me).

| Cheers Sam! |

| Cheers Harry! |
 |
| I seem to be short of pictures of Joe and Soulla so here they are when they visited last year. |
February Half Term and a visit from Joanne.
 |
| On top of the cliffs at Valley of the Rocks |
 |
| A long walk down but we have the beach to ourselves. |
My first visit to Clovelly

Spring 2017...
I've started work in the garden. Looking forward to the coming year in Devon and hoping for plenty of visitors.
