We were all very excited at breakfast and we talked of little else for most of the meal. Having read the book already I can honestly say that it is very well written and it speaks from the heart on a subject about which he is passionate. I fear that he takes after his mother in that he fights for his cause in any way possible. I believe that this is his way of reminding people who may have forgotten and telling those who may be too young to remember just what wonderful opportunities have been missed for so many foolish reasons. It is a book about what should have been rather than what might have been. It costs only £2.29 so it is worth giving it a glance, that is enough advertising for today, I will let you know how things go.
The estate workers came today supposedly to trim the creeper at the back of the house, they did not trim it they ripped it out entirely and we were unable to stop them. My neighbour remonstrated with them, begged , pleaded and in the end lost his temper and swore at them most colourfully but all to no avail. This has been done as a reprisal because I had the nerve to insist that my oven was either fixed or replaced. My neighbour is incensed that he has now been involved in this matter and has complained to the estate manager , I wish him luck.
I console myself that the creeper will grow again very quickly and the extra evidence that this incident provides to show just how badly we have been treated by the estate all helps the cause in the long run. I am only surprised that they have not the wit to see this for themselves.
None of these things have been allowed to spoil our day, we ate a celebration breakfast of blueberry and wine berry muffins and for dinner a gammon joint boiled , then roasted with whole onions carrots and parsnips and served with a cider and mustard sauce. This dish is an autumn favourite with us and is quite suitable fr a special occasion. The left over gammon will make sandwiches for supper tomorrow and the remaining stock will, with some dried peas and bacon make our favourite “London Particular” soup on Monday. Having spent less than £5.00 on the gammon I feel that we have certainly had value for money which in time like these is so important. I believe these recipes were published on an earlier blog but if would like them and do not fancy trawling through the back numbers please let me know and I shall print them again
Twiggy has caught two more young rats today and is mightily pleased with herself , the trophies are on display on the front step for [people to admire. Unfortunately most people just scream and run:Note to self this may be a good thing to do on a day when I am too busy to entertain!
It makes me glad to see my son happy again and interested in his own plans, he has been so miserable of late and when I consider the things that have happened to him in the past couple of years and particularly in the past few months I am not surprised.
I have no time for people who trade upon the good will of better men than themselves to further their own ends, such people are pathetic but unfortunately common
