Some people like to take long walks in the counrty

This is what we have been doing this weekend, I say we, but mainly these feature pater's pursuits which are, homebrew, remodelling the shed and mates coming round for curry.

It's been a busy few weeks as mother finished her course and had to hand in the dreaded unit 7, and also went back to work after some time off. All fine really but life can be so time consuming.

This week say first born go off on residential to Wales with her class, she did a stunning job of looking after herself and even managed to bring her belongings back safely.

The homebrew is ready- ish and drinking quite well although these things tend to improve with age so the next few weeks are looking rosy.

The hope is that the shed which has been occupied by mothers guinea pig will be reborn as a summer house before the summer is actually over, and the pigs can go back in for the winter, but it looks like being a sanctuary for those moments when a mother needs to get out of the house sometimes. Know what that feels like?
