Glorious start to the day,not a cloud in the sky,Grandad Sanford arrived at 10am with a big old pork joint and was very pleased when i told him we had a venison leg out ready for dinner.Lorna and Bins arrived soon after to take robin to wells with them for a sleep over,robin loves a chance to go there as its a city ,all be it a small one,he gets to have a wander up town and go to Bins allotment.
Once Robin left we all piled into our car and went to wincanton to the Merrel's place to pick up the trailer full of sycamore wood and some of our tools,showed my dad the gardening we had been doing.On the way home we dropped into the allotments and were surprised to see it wasn't as bad as i had expected,last year mid-season i put my back out and was laid up for 6 crucial weeks,still have 4 rows of spuds in the ground,it would appear though that a mouse has made the most of them ,hundreds of holes all over the ridges.We cut about 20 cuttings of the black currant bushes for Elijah's mum and dropped them off ,she was very pleased to have them and a rhubarb crown.
When we got back Sarah sorted the pile of washing up and the boys brought the logs in from the trailer,i slit them,tis hard work and in the afternoon sun was hot work,we split about half a tonne.Afterwards we all sat out the front and enjoyed a cuppa in the sun and i carved a spoon and finished the handled bowl i had started in the week.
Dinner went well nowt better than venison roast especially when the venison is free.could do with another one soon.
