Church harvest festival today, apaz. All is safely gathered in. Hopefully. I expect the flock at St Peter in Eastgate will be bringing in some of their own harvest to give to the poor of the parish. Bushels of wheat, wheels of cheese, a lamb, stuff like that. Very rural county, Lincolnshire.
I daresay I’ll have a few jobs to do having been away with the lads for a few days. Not looked at the list. Hey, I’ve been on holiday. Mind you it is the sabbath. Do I want to incur the wrath of the church elders? Difficult decision this, for THG. Whilst she is not officially a church elder her status as a respected member of the flock does suggest that she should probably toe the line and not insist on any of the jobs being done today. Do they have church elders in the C of E? Must do. Surely.
I may be being really unfair here. Maybe there are no jobs on the list for today. I do want to test the central heating in preparation for the long cold winter ahead. This can be a longer job than some may imagine. It isn’t just switching it on and feeling it warm up. It’s what you have to do when it doesn’t warm up. Go around each radiator, check if the thermostat is turned up or whether it needs bleeding. Bleedin radiators. It has to be done this morning as we are off out for lunch.
Otherwise all is calm in the Davies kitchen. The garden continues to supply us with fresh raspberries to go with the porridge. Coffee (THG) and tea (moi) is quietly being consumed.
We did have a fox in the front garden overnight. Four thirty one eh em. You’ll have to wait until I’ve checked the lake cam to see if there was any lakeside activity. Later…
