……..It's good to be here at the manor full-time now...we're meeting the locals and finding that we are surrounded with friendly, supportive and outgoing people...within 24 hours of being here we were invited to dinner....back at our last gig we were only invited to dinner once in 18 months ....working 12 hour days may have had something to do with it!!!!
Anyhow...we're trying to figure out what the first thing we're supposed to be doing is......It’s major! There are bulldozers, earth-movers, diggers, graders, electricians, plumbers, interior decoraters, landscapers, gardeners, stone-masons..........there are wires hanging out of the walls, bedrooms and bathrooms to finish, dustcloths over very serious antique furnishings and fittings and a kitchen of amazing equipment which needs to be figured out. Every cupboard and shelf is so full of stuff for preparing, cooking and serving food that we are wondering…. "Where does the food fit?"
We went for a walk to the source of the Thames – astonishing when you think of how it grows, expands and becomes such a major water way……As you can see, we have snow on the ground and an original “ice bucket”! The houses are so snuggly and warm though, you don’t realize the sub-zero temps until you stand outside for a few minutes.
Miss you all heaps and hope that you are enjoying a truly splendid summer…….much love xxxx
