#FAIL!

Flat battery on Magnus!  A nice summer evening too. And on your birthday!  Happy Birthday Jack!  I hope it’s been a good day, with more to come yet!

Magnus on charge!


News here?  Well, Grandad Roger is now very frail and old.  Just out of hospital, he’s learning how to walk again.  We’ve rearranged their house and installed a ground floor bathroom, because he can’t do the stairs.  But he’s happy to be home again and that makes Nanna Vicky happy too.  

Edward, Oliver, Phil and Suzy are in the States, again..!   Do you remember Skype calling Oliver when they lived there for a year?  Basically shouting gleefully at each other and waving toys at the screen?  Hilarious!!

Me and mine?  Sold my second business, so wife Rebecca, who ran it, is now unemployed.  That’s not going to last long – soon find a job to keep her out of mischief!  I’m still working in London every day, so pretty tired by Fridays.  Sam’s just graduated, Lauren’s got one more year on her law degree and Emily awaits her A-level results…

As for Grandad Norman, where is he when I have a flat battery in my tractor?  Useless!!  (We enjoyed a nice pint last night – he’s doing really well)

That’s about it really.  Magnus has been in charge a little while now, so I’ll go try again. Meantime, stay cool, work hard, stand tall!

Magnus in buttercups

The sun was shining and I couldn’t resist taking Magnus the Massey Fergusson tractor down to the big field at the bottom, which was a sea of buttercups.
