People in the cottage tend to settle down quickly and find their own place and role in our community. Peggy tends to take care of drying and washing. Peter on the other hand takes care of watering the garden. The days are busy and have meaning…

Where does Joan find her energy, I wonder sometimes…. She seems to have more than I often do. Washing, drying, cleaning, laundry, walking, reading…….. What would we do without you Joan?

Would is rather therapeutic I think and so sociable. It is easy to sit for ages winding the wool, chatting with others, having a rest over cup of coffee only to pick it up again

I have been looking at the photos from the party and had to remind myself that the cottage is still a baby – it is only one year old! Still, it feels like it has always been there. The garden too looks brilliant and lush and in the summer sunshine one feels one is in the countryside. Thank you Adrian for your great photos!

Having few days of warm air and sunshine turns our living upside down – we live outside as much as we can without getting ourselves sunstroke! It was rather wonderful to have a group of people spending Friday afternoon under the weeping ash tree chilling out with Deb and her art/craft classes. It was laid back, slow, quiet and rather enjoyable lol
