Wet, wet,wet.

There is so much water about - our field partially flooded, great puddles on the roads & flooded fields wherever you go. There is still a good deal of snow about so it will get worse before long - I have to put wellies on to cross the field to let the chickens out. The good news is that not only are they back to their old friendly selves but they laid an egg today - B found it, I have only been the lucky collecter of two eggs, despite letting them out most mornings. It's been a hectic day - I went to Solihull yesterday, collected J & Th from school, then went to McDonalds to meet up with B, T & KP for a healthy meal! We went back to P & A's for an hour or so - the g/cs had a great time playing together, then back here where B & co did a sleepover. B prepared & served a delicious Indian meal, aided by M&S. We had pancakes for breakfast. As usual, they got better as time went on & the last one was near perfection - the first two were really duff, but tasted good! We went to Baddesley Clinton - a moated medieval manor house, near Dorridge, owned by the NT. We had a drink whilst waiting for our ticket time, did the house & then had a light lunch before going to Solihull to buy KP a birthday present - partially successfully. I took Maurice's b'day present round whilst B cooked dinner - sausage, bubble & squeak & fried eggs. B sourced & put new headlight bulbs in the Volvo for me - both went on Sunday, sorted out the bike roof rack & took it to deliver to MG & mended the lighting function on the hob - things I was struggling with - thanks B. They have gone home, T still with a cold. I've built up the fire & am watching the TV - M Portillo in Wales - makes me want to visit LLandudno, where we used to go on holiday when little.
