The Big Clean!

Vin and I are not tidy people..that is a fact. We don't have that many visitors either, so when we do it is a bit of an occasion requiring a clear up..major spit and polishas it were.
We got an email the other night which he didn't tell me about before we went to bed from a man who used to live in the house two doors down from us for donkey's years. All through his childhood in fact, and his University years. Anyhow, he is now an esteemed Professor in the University of Texas. He is coming to Britain and wants to visit again a week on Sunday.
Vin and I were in hysterics last night because the last time he came we had spent the week cleaning everywhere, gathering up books, papers and belongings and stowing them away. Vin was saying he still hasn't located some stuff he moved from last time!! What a scream. Mind you Vin said that it would do for Christmas now HaHa. The trouble is we do have a fair amount of clutter and two hairy cats plus we need a new vacuum cleaner that picks up cat hair properly. So we prepare for the Royal Visit!!
Didn't go out today, weather not really very nice, we sorted out the kitchen floor, and Vin wrote his holiday diary in his proper diary. he keeps a diary every day of his life..isn't that wonderful..and he was filling in the holiday that we took to new England. It was lovely remembering what we did on that holiday..our visit to the Shaker museum which was fantastic, and all the other things that we did.


The second one os one of the wood stores for the winter. Gorgeous place.

Tonight we are having:
Anescalope with mushroom sauce
Baby potatoes squashed
Any veggies we have left over.
