If you’ve moved on from following the blog…. I wouldn’t blame you. Life really has got in the way of blogging the past few months.
However, I am still here. Still doing things and rushing about trying to keep head above water.
We’ve had a busy summer again.
Alfie was in and out of hospital quite a bit. The last stint was 2 weeks from 16th August, which, of course, clashed with one of our busiest times with AirBnB. Alfie is feeling a lot better now, so fingers and toes crossed that we have reached the end of that journey.

We did manage a couple of days off at the beginning of August to spend time with friends and to do the ‘tourist’ thing for ourselves.
I shall write about some of those experiences as well as the many topics spinning around in my head that I want to share with you. So over the coming weeks, I may be having a rant or two!!! And I guess, it is a good sign when guests want me to share recipes with them, so you can look forward to some recipes too!
How have you all been?
How has your summer gone?
Did you get to have holidays?
I was really saddened to read of Alfie’s latest medical issues. Mary and I sincerely hope all is well and things are looking up. We consider you both as friends, and wish nothing but the best for both of you. We absolutely enjoyed our brief time at Old Farm, and hope to visit you both again.
Peace be with you!
Thank you Mike and Mary… yes, even since your visit that has been another stint in hospital… but hopefully this will be the last!

Glad to hear Alfie is on the mend Margaret. So glad we got to spend time with you guys during the ‘staycation’. Sending you loads of love and healing vibes to Alfie!
Thank you Lily … yes, those few days ‘off’ were lovely!
