Snapshot I took in our front hall a few days ago. Bit dark but gives a general idea of the terrain of our home. This morning Ann had to go to a meeting of the Aldham Parish Church Council, and I had to stay in as my barber (and friend) Bill was calling to tidy me up a bit - much needed- it's at least a month since he exerted his tonsorial skills on me. Grand daughter Freja stayed in too - partly to keep an eye on the old man's welfare, and partly to cook lunch - she really is very good about the house. She made us some sort of pasta dish for lunch, Italian - she's travelled a good deal for her age (19). Changing the subject - I've just managed to take my own picture, which I mean to try and use on this blog, and I'm being called up for tea - so more later (perhaps). Just returned to my cellar and found that this blog entry is still (unexpectedly) in situ. Freja will be down in a min to see if we can recover self portrait and publish it on blog - fingers (and indeed everything else available) crossed.

Good job all round, granddaughter's culinary, bill's barbouring and your publishing skills. I hope GrAnnie's counciling skills were equally appreciated?
I'm sure they were and are, Rough. The problem all over the country is that of replacing elderly helpers; and getting younger help about necessary jobs is, I think, even more difficult. The basic trouble is, I think, that both of every couple has to work full time (even when, and perhaps more especially when there's a family to bring up).
