Visitors - Charlotte & Curtis

We had hoped that the weather would change for the extended stay of our two oldest grandchildren. They were keen to go to the beach but, as it turned out, they spent more time playing in the fields in between showers. It wasn't a total disaster as they did manage to cut the bottom field one day as can be seen by the following photo:


In addition, Curtis managed to cut the "cricket pitch" using the cylinder mower. This was quite funny to start with because when he pulled the 'self drive' lever, the mower pulled him along with the cutters in the air, however he stuck with it and finished the job in style.


The three of us also spent several hours building the Turf Wall, whilst the children also decided to start building a 'den' in the top field in the middle of the bracken.

We did manage to get out and visit the Screech Owl Sanctuary one day and Charlotte was one of those selected to help in the flying display. The following photo shows her posing with a Tawny Owl.


We hope that they enjoyed their stay and that their muscles are somewhat larger now after all the digging. Perhaps their next visit will bring more settled weather.
