On Friday, Andrew had a half day. It was a beautiful day, sunny and mild, so we went for a gorgeous walk along the Wye from Erwood. We had the walk to ourselves apart from the ducks on the river. There were celandines peeping through and lambs in the field - starting to feel like spring is on its way. Some pics attached. We toddled home and had a gin and a curry. The computer has been playing up and on Friday night the internet both via Explorer and Firefox became unusable.
Saturday, Andrew took the woofs out and then we had some bacon sandwiches (home made bread). Had a shower and then trundled off to do some food shopping. Because there are no proper supermarkets round here, this means doing a run round Aldi, a run round Somerfield and then stopping off at the butcher on the way back. Half the world seemed to be doing the same thing. At the butcher, picked up a nice belly pork cut which Andrew will be roasting for a long time this afternoon. Again, it was fabulously mild - I was able to go out with just a top on, no jacket. Andrew made a delicious butternut squash lasagne with Perl Las cheese - scrumptious.Then he was heroically taking off all the computer programmes and reinstalling everything.
Today a quiet day with another walk on the Wye, this time a bit further down than Erwood. Parts of the walk are an old railway line and it was very pleasant. We saw some canoeists on the river, but again it was very quiet and peaceful. Andrew has just gone for a run and the dogs are sulking cos they didn't go with him. Now just off to put on the oven to warm up for the pork joint.
