    I'm so pleased - I've just had our solar panels cleaned. Collared NDN's window cleaner to give us a quote, they weren't in anyway so he said he'd have a go today. He spent two hours trying to get the muck off, really encrusted after 8 years or so and will come back in a couple of month's time to have another go.

    I wish I could find a window cleaner, living in a converted barn, it's so absolutely necessary!

    Charlie is on the coach, on his way home, gosh I've missed him.  He's had a fabulous time.

    Dove those kites look very nice.  Which one did you select for her?  

    DD, lovely that Charlie had a great time. Hopefully, he’ll have some interesting photos to share with you.

    I’ve been sitting on the front veranda with Pixel and knitting.  Such fun sharing time with her.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ and Hello @Pat E and Pixel … what a really lovely photo of you both … it’s really special. 😊 
    We’ve ordered her a simple multi-coloured ‘kite-shaped’ one as it’s her first … then if she enjoys it and wants to take it further, the sky’s the limit 😉. She’s at Uni at Portsmouth and had already discovered sailing so she’s very aware of the wind, and she and her friends like walking on the beach, so a kite seemed right for a ‘fun’ present. 
    Hope Charlie has a good trip back home @D0rdogne_Damsel and has lots of good tales to tell about his visit. 😎

    Glad you like it Dove. Your choice of kite sounds just right. 

    We are worn out now. We’ve been out the back cutting firewood. Well, he cuts; I pack the trailer.  It’s getting to that time of year again. 😁

    Morning all, that is a lovely picture of you and Pixel @Pat E, it always amazes me the balancing skills that cats have!
    Plenty to do in the garden today and plug plants to pot on, enjoy your day everyone whatever you are up to.
