mouse
So I said to graham "i'm sure there is a mouse eating the chicken food I'm going to start putting the left over food into the bin at night " (We have a bin with a lid ) so that's what I did. Next morning when I lifted the lid to take out the corn, there was the mouse looking at me! How the little blighter had gotten in there god knows. Graham wanted to kill it but I insisted that he take it some distance away and release it into the field. Thats what he did and then it started to rain and I just wondered what the mouse would do?

Yesterday the W.I went on a visit to a dairy farm. It was good. We watched the cows being milked and then saw the milk turned into ice cream. Then we were given a farm tea where I had the best chocolate cake I have ever had! Mind you it's the only chocolate cake I have had for months! We were very impressed. I bought some ice cream. Rum and Raisen for Graham and cinder toffee for me. we shall have that whilst watching the football tonight. my prediction on what I have seen so far is that Germany will win the cup.

It was quite a strange weekend. Firstly we drove to Rotherham. First to the art gallery to drop off Grahams paintings for the exhibition, then to the museum where Graham has an exhibition in the Cafe.
After that it was downhill all the way! To the Tay barn where the "as much as you can eat " was an invitation to undo all the good work I have been doing on my diet.
Scarcely able to move we then set off to drive to Preston. All was going well for a few miles and then we hit miles of traffic at a virtual standstill. I said to Graham "look at all this on the opposite carriage way It looks like CSI Bolton" All the men in white paper jumpsuits were doing fingertip searching on the road. We finally got to Gina's about two hours later then we should have only to learn that she had been trying to ring us to tell us not to come on that motorway as it was blocked! we also learned that the police had been searching for body parts!!
Saturday was good though. We went with Gina and Andrew and Andrew's parents to view a wedding venue. We were supposed to look at a couple but once we had seen the first one we loved it so much that we decided there and then that this was the one.
It's a beautiful Elizabethan house built circa 1690 and has been renovated to the original . It's wonderful!
We also more or less confirmed the catering etc so we felt that we had achieved a lot. I can't wait now even if it is 10 months away.
Well to celebrate we felt the need to visit the "Tay barn" at Wigan thereby undoing ..........etc
