Summer partying
July 29th, 2008
As readers will have noted from the appearance of my blog on the Durham Miners, learning the new version of WordPress takes a long time. I did finally manage to get the pictures in but the typography is far from perfect.
Perhaps I was unduly distracted by our summer party which in part a celebration of our first year in Charmouth. To get in visitors had to battle their way through a building site. The landscape lot are half-way through a two-month reconstruction of my very steep drive. The point of the exercise is to make it easier to get my scooter in and out.
Meanwhile this is what is necessary when I feel like taking a spin through the country lanes.

Hi Robert.
Have been studying your blog since you have arrived. Quite interesting to say the least. Anyway, just to let you know so that you can deal with it when your grandchildren arrive again, always check the garden before they go out to play, and give them some of your wisdom on the difference between slow worms, grass snakes, and vipers. Last year we had a grass snake on the lawn, today we had another climbing into the rockery at two feet in length. Earlier this week I had two slow worms around the back at least a foot long. Both species are good for the garden, but apparently we have had visits in the past from vipers. (adders) ( Sandy colured zig zagged markings)I was going to mention it the other day when I saw
you, but it slipped my mind at the time.
All the best from Fleur.
