Last week Chas went to stay with the Hands for a few days, after Si had returned to work. Chas had offered to come and “help out” if needed, and there was no holding her back once Claire had invited Grannie Chas to come and spend time with her granddaughters.
If it hadn’t been for the complication of a car without an MOT, Chas would have arrived in Rawdon within two hours of the phone call. There were, off course, plenty of photo opportunities – see Recent Photos.
I had to fend for myself for 3 nights and 4 days. This was tough. I had to eat what I wanted when I wanted, do what I wanted when I wanted, and watch what I wanted when I wanted. A scheduled work night was a slight complication, but the dogs came with me and slept in the office between calls. I will of course be prepared to make a similar sacrifice in the future should the Hands’ needs be greater than mine. Provided that I have enough beer in.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
