Number 678 Guest House -

Well cheesed off at the moment…………. The slugs have demolished my lettuces!!! I saved my yoghurt pots ready to fill with beer so the little blighters would get drunk and drown. Not so, ha ha, I kept having a glass of wine instead and kept forgetting to put the pots out!!!! End result…. Big fat slugs, invisible lettuces, how I despise them. Fortunately, the tomatoes, peppers and chillies are still doing very well with lots of little white flowers.

We took another walk up to the wind turbines, where else do you get a foot path like this???? Shoot the rapids on a gentle Sunday walk!!!

A pit stop on their John O’Groats to Lands End charity cycle ride, Matt and Mark Allam enjoyed an evening with their family staying at Number 678. Mum, Dad and sister, Sophie (their biggest fans I’m sure), were encouraging the boys on their way by meeting up with them periodically to enjoy convivial company and food. Matt and Mark have both given up their annual leave to raise funds for Merry Go Round Opportunity Group in Shefford, Bedfordshire which provides extra play, educational and social opportunities for children with any special need, including physical disabilities, learning challenges, behavioural and social difficulties. It also gives short respite for parents. Charity Registration No 803049. Keep up with the lads as they continue their journey http://www.jogle08.moonfruit.com/#

And ok, ok lads an extra plug for your entrepeneurial qualities:- http://www.giftwrapuk.co.uk/ I admire people with a bit of get up and go, ha ha no pun intended lads!

Golf is back on again and I'm pleased to say that both Tom and Matt have braved the weather to improve their swing. Don't think they're quite ready for Royal Birkdale though!!!
