Yep. The sheep are out of the cottage and back in the cowshed. I just need to get the place swept out now. Thanks in advance for the stuff. I owe you one.

Mandy will post pics tomorrow. Right now I'm dreading how many pages of mafia 5 waffle I've got to get through! But yes - we had a fantastic time. Who'd have thought that Simon & Zoe come from a few miles away from where I grew up in Yorkshire?

Thanks Ian and Luis for your great company for the week. Sorry that the weather wasn't better but I'm afraid we cannot do much about that. It is good to know that you have made it back home to Spain safely. We look forward to your next visit (and we recommend June July August to avoid the flippin' rain) As you know, you are welcome any time as are all the DS members.

Thanks Ray,

There is nothing that we need at the mo' but thanks for asking;

There was mention a while back of people in the UK maybe wanting kilner jars taking back (as they cost a limb and a limb in UK apparently):

I am more than happy to go shopping if anybody wants some getting but you will have to arrange to pick them up from MM; An empty van is alot of jars

I will start a thread on this later in the year if two criteria are met ,;,

1. There is enough interest
2. The downsizer meet-up 2007 is a goer

I don't mind packing a few jars into me van if I manage to get over in the summer;

(staff only for the link i'm afraid

at the minute),

What happened to the piccies Mandy?

If anyone would like to come out in April we have no current bookings for the cottage so it is still available (free) to downsizer members.

Sorry I've been humming and hawing about when I'm coming Simon. I do need to get away for a break and I'd love to meet up with you lot.

You're only two hours away, but it just feels like the other end of the earth. I think I'm actually suffering from agrophobia or something after living here for so long and never going out.

We've started shearing the goats, sorting the fleeces will be quick because we're going to use them for insulation this year. Then I must get my greenhouse sorted out then after that I'll be free.
