Easter Goeth

On Easter Monday we tidied the garden and made a start on cleaning the patio. A long hard days work, but very rewarding when you see the outcome. Still more to do, but that's for another weekend.

After a days work on Tuesday Pete drove up to Essex in the evening for a couple of days in London attending meetings. Wednesday was an opportunity for Pete to meet up with colleagues for a curry and a few beers in the City after work. He returned late on Thursday night after a day of meetings in the City again ready for another days work on Friday.

Pete was able to get to see his brother Paul and his family before he left Essex on Thursday - the purpose of the visit was also to allow Pete to borrow a telescope. What with the clear skies and lack of light pollution Pete was really looking forward to doing a bit of star-gazing during the summer (progress reports to follow).

On Friday evening we walked into Salcombe and bought fish and chips from the van in Island Street. we sat and ate them on a bench and walked back into town for an ice cream. We walked back up Onslow Road and stopped in the church gardens and took in the view. The church bells were ringing, the sun was setting and twilight descending and it was a really peaceful and almost idyllic place to be.

On Saturday we had to prepare for dinner with friends Donna and Marcus and went shopping for the steak at Aune Valley. The Beef Wellington came out really well and the meat was fabulous. We had a good evening, although Marcus had a stinking cold.

Sunday was a day to catch-up with all the paper work and other chores.
