Esme Rae ....

... is 6 today! She was hoping for a chicken pirate party or it could have been a pirate chicken party, whatever, she is dressed the part. We haven't spoken to her today as she's with her mum, but will speak to her tomorrow - no doubt post-party sugared up and on half term! My brother sent her (and us) a jigsaw from this photo. 500 pieces and I haven't a clue but Himself is working away. What a girl, what a delight to be Momo to this live wire. Roll on January!

A very physical day today. We had a trailer load of wood dumped in our driveway yesterday - winter fuel - and have been stacking it. I reckon we're about a third through. Himself mended a big rip in the polytnnel and I've cleared a bed.  The weather was pleasant and at one point quite warm and we thought about a swim. By the time it was high tide the urge had passed and the temperature dropped. Terrible weather coming in tomorrow and we're on orange alert, Nothing as ghastly as what the poor folk in Florida and the Carolinas are enduing. 
Happy birthday to Eda in Bath, Jeanne53's granddaughter, who is enjoying a World birthday for her 7th!
