August and the weather hasnt been great for summer holidays so far but its great for the veg garden, so far we have had, cabbage garlic, onions, calabrese, lettuce, beetroot, swede, potatoes,beans not bad for a first year, must remember not to plant things so close next time but its a learning curve and we are pleased with our progress. It is such buz going down to the bottom of the gardenand digiing up spuds and picking a cabbage and beans or calabrese and then cooking it and having it within an hour or less of digging it up.
The chickens are laying well and giving us 6 eggs a day we have regular customers who we sell to and I must say they taste great we get enough money to buy their food so they are self sufficient.
Minteq won the final tournament of the summer at Appleby Frodingham on one of the most miserable days weather wise I can remember they beat the holders Epworth 2 1 in the final all the parents were wishing we hd gone out a lot earlier.
The Kids broke up from school Luke got another great report from school and as a reward got the new Man Utd kit and are having a good summer getting up when they want playing out with their freinds ( and girlfreind in Joes case) just relaxing and unwinding.
I went snowboarding over in Xscape and met Jim who was on a sking lesson he really enjoyed it. Still cycling a lot and Aikido has finished for the summer but the football season starts soon.
Kate has not been away recently but then has two trips back to back in Italy and the the Czech republic, she is looking forward to her two week break and hopefully th weather will improve.
Going to see U2 in just over 2 weeks really looking forward to it
