Ooooo exciting!

Today started well. I spent the morning with my lovely friend then had a gentle afternoon unpacking stuff from the holiday.

As Ally, Red and I wandered in the garden chatting to the chickens, a helicopter flew low over our house then landed in the field by the fire station. We decided to have a nosey and see what was happening.

We soon realised it was a "special" helicopter so stood for a good 15 minutes in the rain to wave Princess Anne off! And she didn't even wave back!

However, in my attempts to take photos of this momentous occasion, it became clear that there was a problem with my camera/memory card. It seems the card is corrupted. I spent several hours trying in vain to salvage anything. The only consolation is that j had copied everything onto my Dad's laptop on Thursday so it is only the photos from the weekend I have lost...
