All quiet on the home front.

It was very quiet this morning, no little voices from the spare room.
Did I say "little"?
On Saturday morning T & KP chatted to each other for about 20 minutes after waking up before the "Granny" cry went up at 7.15am. We were up, dressed & breakfasted, ready for the day by 8.30am.
We did some baking, T weighing, cracking eggs & mixing; KP mixing & licking spoons.
After lunch we went to The Shustoke Show, despite the rain.
The show ring had a display of vintage tractors, the North Warks hunt & The Axe Men from Wales, wielding chain saws & axes. We did the Show tent, the pet & creepy crawlies tent, from Honily farm centre & an owl display, before a session in the Crooked House.
It rained a lot & was amazingly muddy. KP had sandals on, sat down in the mud twice.
The highlight was probably being pushed out of the muddy field/car park by six young farmers.
I still have to wash the mud off the car.
When we got home, T & KP went straight into the bath & put "jimmys" on whilst everything else, including shoes, was washed.

On Sunday P, T & J came to brunch, in the garden & the children all enjoyed playing in the sunshine. We took T & KP home - both fast asleep - where they were delighted to see their Mum, after a week away.
We went to Bicester village, where G bought some new casual clothes in an even smaller size, from Musto & Racing Green.
I bought a T-shirt from Fat Face (no comment needed there)
We arrived home exhausted, cooked beef stroganof & watched Top Gear.

Today G finished the filling & sanding down & opened up the windows in the study whilst I played tennis, did three loads of washing & ironing & spring cleaned the kitchen.
G has put in new lights over the work surface, which are brill, so the paintwork deserved a wash.
Does anyone want a George Forman grill thing? We never use it, so the space is more useful.

It's raining again!
