Hole appears in Garden Wall at Staffield

Not exactly mysterious but an eventful few days for the Eden Valley. This hole was Made by a trailer full of manure parting company with the tractor and smashing into Jackies garden wall. It could have been worse the two little girls next door were playing just there on their bikes a few minutes before.

Also in a nearby hamlet there has been a fatal shooting involving a local couple. It happened in the house next to a friend of ours. No details but reading between the lines (and I know you shouldn't) there is a great deal of sadness involved - there always is I suppose. Loads of police around and press. It seems unbelievable. And you think we live in a quiet country retreat. A few years ago there was a police stakeout here due to a young chap, shall we say having taken something, turned on his family with some sort of gun.
Well today has been fairly quiet with the most exciting thing being - ball,ball, ball and stick, stick, stick, go on throw it then! It's nice to have a bit of peace and quiet.
