After a visit from Robin’s Mum on Friday, it was the turn of daughter Nicky, son-in-law Robert and the two grand-daughters to visit us today for lunch and to check out the new house. I had been baking up a storm for the family lunch, and everything turned out well, not like my attempt at making scones the other day. In fact, with six hearty appetites it all disappeared in record time, including a good portion of the delicious plum cake I had baked for dessert.

Our visitors were very interested in the pull-down ladder leading up to the attic storage area. In fact, they all wanted to climb up and have a look up there. There was a take-home bonus for Nicky upstairs, that’s we we had stored our microwave from the previous house which would wouldn’t fit into our much more compact kitchen. Nicky told me her microwave was on it’s last legs and making funny noises, so she got to take our one home. I was happy to get rid of another carton, and more than happy it was going to a good home.
The visitors got a little lost coming here, and had to phone for directions, so Robin showed Robert his Garmin Sat Nav and explained how it can make life easier. Don’t think Robert was overly impressed, he is not going to rush out and buy one anytime soon.
See, it works like this
The grand-daughters are never too keen to get their photos taken unless they are sitting up on one or other of their beloved horses. But here is one of mother and daughter.

Soon it was time for them to leave, taking the microwave and a few other items I was pleased to see the back of with them. “Come up anytime with the caravan”, Robert told us, “you know there’s plenty of room”. I’m sure we will, now we have moved, it is only an hour up the road from here. We waved them goodbye then tidied up the kitchen, where the dish drawer really proved it’s worth. It made clearing up so much easier, just load it up, and switch it on, it cleans those dishes just like magic.
