Crap night with the chest coughing kept me up till 3am,finally got to sleep in bed at 6am,10am Tim turns up for me to go and ferret his place again,so off we went ,his whole family were there due to his dad being gravely ill,so me and Tim put the 2 Jill's in the attic then went to wincanton to sort tools for the gardening,he was happy with the improvement,then back to chez Merell,after 3 hrs it appeared Topsy was AWOL,so i came back minus a ferret,Tim will catch it hopefully.
After that we took the dogs and the kids over to shear water,the lake was frozen bar a small duck swim,got chatting to a chap,at first he and his family were behind me as i sorted the Kelly kettle,i thought his accent was Scandinavian but it turned out they were Romanians,and to top it all we had something in common,he too is a bushcrafter/hunter,i think his name is Lucian which means 'light' ,we talked for age's he was very impressed with the fire piston and the Kelly kettle,i recon he is going to buy one.Sarah gave him our details,i hope he visits.
Once home we fed the kids including Alfie and then we took him back to mere,it was good to meet his mum and dad outside the schools spectre,Zoe is a townie aspiring to be a country girl and the dad is nice,he seems a bit younger than Zoe.They want a shed built in they're garden,i discussed the options and we came up with a design not too different to my workshop,there will be no groundwork to do as the surface is level tarmac.It appears we have made some decent acquaintances recently,i guess time will tell.
