pre hols busy busy

yes, we are off to Croatia with Lois the day after tomorrow!
So Alan is weeding and haymaking furiously, even I did a bit of sweet-corn hoing
this morning. We had lots of rain and hot weather, so things are growing like mad.
We had hoards of nice hostel-guests; the smoking room had it its first occupants, a lovely couple from Holland, John and Ester, and they loved it! They re-arranged the room and managed to fit the beds in the "alcove" where they were meant to be. Got the more mange-tout, kohlrabi, peas, marrows frozen and eaten, days pass in a haze of speed...
I got the picture of the storks building their nest from the person who does the photos for the village monthly news-letter, from early May, when the pair just started the construction - and now,
there are three little ones, not visible...
