Then after enough exertion it was time to enjoy all the lovely food that Paula had prepaired and to have a cool beer.
The children carried on with games in the garden and paddling pool, while Mike, Andrew and I discussed the collapse of the English cricket team against Australia and the loosing of yet another Ashes
series.
The last weekend in August was a bank holiday and we took a long break in Hereford to see Hatty’s Aunt and Uncle (Virginia and Anthony). Having been hit by the recent outbreak of foot and mouth the
farm was eerie and quiet, but it did give Angus a chance to sit on his first real tractor, which was hard to get him off. Christmas come early for the little chap.
Anna was in her element as Lizzie and Dom second cousins of Anna’s related to Hatty’s other Uncle and Aunt (Michael and Sharon) in Hereford came over and lavished her with attention. She even had
her toenails painted by Uncle Anthony, which was a great treat. Lady muck or what.
