Hi ho, Hi ho It's off to work we go (whistles) Hi ho, Hi ho, Hi ho

Can you see me ears mum?

Another lovely day on the beach!
As usual we had the beach to ourselves.
As we were walking along we came across one of the locals, out with his Fordson Major.
This is the type Jon had, and which he sold recently to make room for the new shed building.
He was going to restore it, but 13 yars down the line he simply did not have the time.
I had a chat with the chap. He was collecting shingle from the beach for his pigeons.
He told me there was a problem with his tractor....a pipe thingy!
We had a good chat and I left him to fix his tractor....I di think he posed well for me though!

On our way back to the car we bumped into another chap..
"You haven't seen a chap with a broken down tractor have you?" He asked...
"Yes, it's his pipe thingy!" I replied....

and he was off on his way, in the direction of the tractor.

I always feel my early morning walks are very soul inspiring, they restore my faith in human nature.
The people I come across are usually walkers, locals or dog walkers.
Wilma and I are quite well known, and we do see people regularly.
They always have a smile, a greeting and a comment about the weather.
The dog walkers always speak, even if we don't know them, indeed I always have a "Hello" or "Morning" for people I come across, it just comes naturally.
I think it is because we all feel the benefits of the sea, the beach and the natural calming atmosphere it creates.

Wilma thoroughly enjoys it too...and is restful for the rest of the day!

We had to get home...we were expecting a delivery!

Over to me........... left, left....

To the right....back a bit....

That's it!

Smile Colin!

Yes, the first delivery of the materials for the shed build, I am indeed the project manager!

Tuesday saw the first day of work...by lunchtime ...




and the end of the day!





We have had a heavy downpour AGAIN during the night so work has been delayed, we are having a rain check at 12noon...Watch this space! LOL!

Whilst the work is going on I will be based at home to keep an eye on progress and order any supplies. It will give me a chance to catch up on projects.

It doesn't look as though we will get away for a holiday this year, we were hoping we may go to France again, but what with the building project and Jon's work load it is not looking good.
However, I am not too worried because we have something to look forward to in June 2008.

It will be Jon's 50th birthday on June 2nd and our 20th Wedding Anniversary on June 3rd.
We were discussing all of this and Jon said he didn't want a big "do" for his birthday...so I suggested we go away....
well yesterday I booked our ferry crossing to the Isle of Man! Yes we are going to the TT 2008!
It is a great bike event and we have always said we would like to go.
Tonight I will hear from a B&B I phoned just a short while ago, so keep your fingers crossed!

Thank you for the many many comments and messages for Daisy, no plans yet for the funeral.
Claire had a setback when blood clots were discovered on her lungs, positive vibes are being transported as we speak!

Keep your eyes on my visitor counter........25,000 visitors very soon!
Now we must celebrate!
(Toddles off to think of something!)
All people who leave comments will be in for a little something!
