Regarding weasel milk

Posted on August 27, 2004 by Gary

Gloomy start to the day with clouds and sprinkly rain. I had my coffee up the hill as usual and was barked at by a furiously tail wagging Labrador. His owner came up and said “Quiet! Just because it’s a … Continue reading →

Sulky girls

Posted on August 26, 2004 by Gary

Awake at 6 and walking into Alfriston at 7. Was joined this morning by Bev who did not get a lot of sleep last night and reported that the sunrise was lovely. It was nice to share my early morning … Continue reading →

Lorna had destroyed the ladies loo

Posted on August 25, 2004 by Gary

Walked down to Alfriston this morning to get the Telegraph so I could work out the football scores which I rang through to David. Everyone thought I was mad and, upon my return to work, I found out that David … Continue reading →

The legendary Turdis

Posted on August 24, 2004 by Gary

Up at 6, bright and bleary eyed. Drank my coffee up the hill overlooking Alfriston. The camp started coming alive (well, almost) at about 8. Dawn and I left too early for the trainees and ended up watching Terry eat … Continue reading →

Posted on August 23, 2004 by Gary

Broken toe

Posted on August 22, 2004 by Gary

Up at 7am. Went downstairs to make my coffee and broke my toe on one of the big chairs in the dining room – it appeared to leap out at me from the shadows. At first I thought I’d just … Continue reading →

Return to civilisation

Posted on August 21, 2004 by Gary

Awake at 7. Mirinda obviously still jet-lagged as she was awake and reading. There was no toilet paper left so I rang reception for some more. Eventually we left the room to go and look for breakfast and a toilet … Continue reading →

Church day

Posted on August 20, 2004 by Gary

Awake at 7. It seems the cabbage had finished boiling as the smell seemed to have vanished over night. The view out of the window was quite dramatic. I mean the sky, not the rooftop. Big, black, threatening clouds, sitting … Continue reading →

No quality here

Posted on August 19, 2004 by Gary

Up early to pack and prepare for Glasgow. Woke the still jet lagged from flying back from Australia, Mirinda at 7:30 as we have to take the puppies to The Forge – they were NOT impressed. On GMTV this morning, … Continue reading →

Walking and beer

Posted on August 8, 2004 by Gary

Dawn and Nick called around at 10am and we set off for our pub walk. I have no idea where we were but we ended up climbing Bexley Hill – very steep. We managed to get lost when the book … Continue reading →
