Gin and Tonic.

Ros and Roy came to stay at the weekend ...and it was lovely to see them.It was great to show them around our new house, the village and the area. They loved the garden and the field.... and the location of the house. We were lucky enough to see some deer at the top of the field...we dragged ourselves away from watching The World Cup Final to get the binoculars out for a minute. We went to a local garden centre and Roy bought us a great selection of shrubs and plants to start off our border at the side of the garden....he said that hanging small bars of soap around new plants, will put the deer off. Could be worth a try.

Ros and Roy have known me all my life really. Ros said she first saw me at church with my Mum and Dad, when I was 5 weeks old. Ros, Roy, Mike and Jane have been my family for the past 17 years....and they mean the world to me.

The funny thing is....( and we spent most of the weekend laughing about this).....when we get together Ros always gets my name mixed up with Janes name. During the 4 years that I lived with them, Ros would usually call me "Jean" or "Jail". This weekend it was "Gin". So Tel became "Tonic". She also called Tel, "Brian" a few times.

Mike and his wife are having a baby in the next week or two. If its a girl they might call it Jessica.....another "J" for Ros to deal with.!!!!!
