In eight days time it will be the Wedding Day of our elder daughter Jenny and Peter Olds – a friend she has known for many years and we have known his parents for even longer!! A reception at home is a wonderful idea and it is great fun sprucing up outdoors – and a fine excuse to get more jobs done!!
The marquee field is looking quite magnificent
and Pete has a friend who has a tractor and mowers and rollers booked for monday. He is determined to have stripes even! The 2 sheep in the neighbouring field have decided that the grass is definitely greener the other side of the fence so David amongst all the other pre wedding jobs has had to do a section of re-fencing to persuade them otherwise. Oh dear can you imagine the havoc that 2 sheep could create in a marquee overnight? – doesn’t bear thinking about!!!!
The new track and grass on the farm buildings side of the bridge is also looking good. Another area for a picnic table for our cottage guests I feel and you would never think that a few months ago this was 1m deep trenches for the ground source heat pump pipes for Toad Hall!
Toad Hall ground source heat pump area
New gravel was laid and raked yesterday between Toad Hall and the barn – a useful sized car parking area
More brown bread ice cream to make and more cream bunting for the entrance drive to create still – to mention but a few pre wedding tasks yet!
