Half term

Restful week? Not quite.... went to help Son#1 to sort out his Palace to rent while he's away. Mixing concrete, fencing, laying paving slabs, shovelling rubble, clearing brambles.... not quite a relaxing few days! But it was great fun, we worked from when we got up until it was too dark to see what we were doing, then made for the local Chinese/Indian/pub for dinner before falling exhausted into bed.

It was better than a daily session in the gym and I'm still glowing from all the fun we shared. Everyone had a great sense of satisfaction from putting the house and garden to rights, but my biggest happiness came from knowing that I was still 'useful' and able to help.
