The Landy lands (and other things)

First things first - Man U lost the first FA cup final to be held at Wembley, Chelsea scored in injury time to put everyone out of their misery (it was a dreadful match!).
Busy time still over the last couple of weekends - the Landrover has arrived and is fantastic. We all love it - it's huge but goes OK and has so much space inside. The first long trip out was to the science centre to an open evening - we all went with GO, had fish and chips on the way and were very excited to see Saturn through one of the big telescopes. The was followed by a weekend of lousy weather, and the christening which went really well although we had to have the 'do' in the village hall. Almost 60 people came and drank lots of tea and ate huge amounts of cake - a great date nonetheless and A was perfect (although he yelled when he got his head wet!). On bank holiday Monday we went to the coast and blew the cobwebs away, and managed to find some big puddles to splash through in the landy!
Last week was very quiet at work - lots of people took half term off. I spent a busy week in the garden and the various plants and veg are coming along nicely.
This weekend was a good one - it started early on Saturday when we drove to Wallington to get a roofrack for the Landy. First trip on the motorway went smoothly - cruising speed around 70mph seems fine. The weather was great all weekend and having cut the grass on our return and had a dip in the (very!) chilly swimming pool. We also spent some time gathering elderflower for cordial - there's loads out this year and it was perfect for 'harvesting' on a sunny afternoon!
Sunday continued sunny - J&M came round and their Bull Mastif chased a chicken - very funny, and looked like something out of Turner and Hooch!!No harm done though, and we had a great time sitting in the sun. Later on I dug out the big tent from the loft and put it up in preparation for camping later in the month (hooray!). It looks as though we may be going to Scotland next year - I mentioned it to S and she was up for the idea!
I think that's all for now - hope for more good weather and a fine summer..........
