Tidying, more garden stuff and a welcome party for Traci

Tidying was the order of the day. I set about sorting out the office, kitchen and living room. Sam, Aaron and Gemima all started to take care of their respective bedrooms. Toni headed to the garden with Bob. A lot got done. It was a magnificent effort all round. Sam's room has never looked so well organised as he ditched a lot of stuff that he didn't need.

Thanks to the efforts of Toni and Bob we now have the start of a rockery and a trug for planting vegetables in plus some cool hanging stuff:

After a hard day of work Toni and I threw on the glad rags and headed over to Selmo Mansion for a welcome party for Traci who has finally made it over from the USA to be with her husband (and out good friend) Darren Law. It was a low key affair with some wonderful gluten free food and it was a great chance to meet Traci and start to get to know her. It was nice to see Darren so happy to be with her.
