22nd July 2026 - New Roof for the Beer Garden

Thought for the day :"When I get something stuck in my throat, I just dislodge it with a cold beer. It's called the Heineken Manoeuvre.."

Dry

A Chris Day - so many pallets found,  High Roses chopped back, Beer Garden undergrowth removed, metal pole taken to the pontoon, found some extra Bar Stools, ripped tent gathered in and ready for repair, Kissing Gate brought to the house as are two styles, sure to find a use somewhere...

Realised I had not taken photos of the Mr & Mrs Baum bunting and the wedding bunting 

And Dave and Zephyr !!

the beer Garden Roof !!!

Should be finished tomorrow 

Cheers 

21st July 2026 - Signs out again and ducks cleaned

Thought for the day :"As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I remember that you can't always trust Google Maps."

Cleaned the dusks out as it was not as hot as the last few days .

But the gardens are still full of colour.

 

A new consecration of  Court of Athelstan is due - but it will be on 1st August when I am en-route to Germany.

Met with Charlotte from next door in the Romany Caravan. Did the lawns for her and looks good.

And James Hollingsworth posted a few pictures for his Friday Night Concert

Been  a techie day - Sum Up Machine failed - well rather the app failed and two hours on the help chatbot and cat person did not assist. In the end, turned it off in frustration. Worked an hour later when I switched on !!

Meanwhile - WiFi in the tavern failed - spent a while resetting the mesh system, managed to get up to two repeaters, third keeps failing - may have to start againin the morning.

  

Cheers
