Had a heavy day yesterday - set off to Long Melford (antique fair) at 7a.m. Did fair - set off home at 1 p.m. because of bad weather and bad roads - then taught granddaughter Tuva the game of scrabble in the evening. As a result of heavy day yesterday overslept this morning (can't remember the last time I did that) and awoke at 8.40 a.m. this morning. Which meant that I had to scramble to get to Church by 10 a.m. to do my weekly stint of two hours manning the church. On my way took the above photo of our Deanery Tower. It was completed in 1495 (the tower- not taking the photo). Very quiet in Church. Owing to the snow only the Dean and our organist looked in. Just before noon Ann, Ruth, and the girls arrived and I took them out to lunch in town. Home at about 2.30, then pottered in the workshop, and on the computer. Light supper of cold meats, etc., then a four handed game of scrabble - Ann, Ruth, meself, and Tuva. Good close game. Shan't tell you who won, modesty forbids, and it wasn't by many points anyway. Everyone has just pottered off upstairs to bed. I've just nipped downstairs to the workshop- ostensibly to log off the computer - in reality to write a quick blog. Which I've just done - so - Goodnight all.

Love that game! Please give my best to Ruth and the girls. They are having a nice long visit. By the way, you are allowed to sleep in once in awhile.
Love the snow on the ledges and Gothic battlements - delightful prospect. In those days, I believe, you had to get a Royal Charter before you could put battlements on a privately owned building (not sure if that applied to church properties.) (You can't be too careful when you're a mediaeval king - too many nobles happy to chuck the tax-man over the battlements!) A bit like Planning Permission these days!
8:40 is oversleeping????
Good grief!!!!
Oversleeping in my world starts around midday....er....ish?...;-)
