After the splendid bank holiday weekend when Mollie and Louis held their wedding in the grounds of Pyworthy Rectory, the weather has turned and it is cold and windy and the rain is due to fall all day.

I am packed (again) and waiting for daughter and grandson to arrive so that we can set off on the three hour journey to the Hay on Wye festival where daughter is speaking tomorrow.  I have never been to the Festival before although I have always wanted to attend.  Grandson will be at his mum’s talk with his nintendo in hand switched to silent and on pain of a hammer being taken to the device should  he fail to remain still and quiet during her session!  Probably grandma will have to take him outside if he gets bored and I will be promised a future event in return for my childcare duties.  Wish us luck.  Jeremy is staying home to look after the animals and to enjoy some peace and quiet. He will start the cooking for our expected group of guests who are due to stay here in ten days time.
