A Little work away

Thursday 4th March to 
While Sue and Peter were away we did some jobs around the place as well as help with the animals. We do like to be busy and helpful. We have also sorted out a car (not picked it up yet)and a 2 week holiday in Spain as the flights are so very cheap.

Coffee time

One evening we went to the local pub it was so full of characters 







The daily job of making up the hay nets

Help! The sheep got out!

The animals love me

Flights booked! One week with Jane in L’Estartit and one week with Ali at her Dads in Arboleas.

Cheap!

We spent an afternoon on Exmouth beach with the dogs

It bought back memories for us as we walked along here when we did the SWCP

Beautiful clean walls

This was a long wall to paint

This horse life is so glamorous!

Magnificent views and countyside

A glorious day but chilly

Getting ready for Sue and Peters return 

I cooked them a meal on their return. Vegetable soup Thai salmon and sticky date pudding with caramel sauce. They really appreciated the meal and all the work we had done.

What a lovely evening after a hard day

Tiptoe escaped into the front lawn so David came to the rescue 

Today we picked poo out of the paddocks. We really enjoyed this. 

Love driving the gator with my mate

Sue Peter and Ali drove us into Cornwall to Watergate Bay for a delicious meal in The Beach House (on the right)

Before we ate we took the dogs down the beach - it was freezing 🥶 



Cornish mussels 



The view from the restaurant. 
Leaving Chapelthorne in the morning for Bridport to pick up our new old car. It has been such a wonderful experience here and we are experts in looking after horses - well shoveling shit anyway! We plan to return after our long walk approx October as they want the house painted.
