THE RAINS ARE HERE...................

Saturday saw the puddle at our back door that  actually lifted the wire mat and moved it along a little way...!!!!! yoinks, floody floody!!!!!


Under here lies our path, it was ankle deep!!!!!!



The Elderberry tree crept in through the kitchen window, I'm sure it grew overnight after the rain...................







Sunday was a different story, when I opened the shop I was greeted with a massive puddle that had been dripping through the roof all night and that morning, nothing for it but to rip up the sogging mess, and let the slab dry out.
Painting the floor will be the next challenge, but that means no more carpets to worry about getting rained upon!

FOXS LANE DOES IT AGAIN!

Harry


May I introduce you to one of the family......Harry the Cat. He's 11 years old, he talks and he does tricks, but mostly he loves us, we love him too.

Remember those doors, bedspread and mirror?


....Well, Kate and Richard cut loose the night before we opened, and came up with this little rippa! EVERYTHING we used to build this changeroom was recycled, so it cost a big fat zero!
Just a couple of  hours of  precious time from my mates, including a free comedy act, and TA DAAAAA!

EERIE TICKET OUTLET.................

The good people from EERIE TOURS swung in today to confirm the go-ahead for ticket sales at DEAR PRUDENCE! yay!

We, who have been on the tours, are well and truly equipped to promote this brilliant attraction, its a great way to see the city by night. We attended a wintry June Ghost  tour, which added to the 'eeriness' and was thoroughly enjoyed by all 3 generations of our families who attended.
  On the night of the Old Cemetery Tour, we where treated to a full moon, lightning strikes (far, far away, but very impressive) and a balmy evening, soaking up some amazing history and atmosphere.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 5 Stars!!!!!

Tickets will be available for sale in a week or two.
