Friday

Had a bit of busy day today.  Went up to the church this morning - Ian to do some work in the churchyard putting some paving blocks under a bench and some gravel around the edge.  The little corner next to the church wall now looks so much better and more inviting.  I was making chicken wire cages to go round the smallest of the rose bushes in the memorial garden to prevent the leaves being eaten by rabbits and muntjac deer.
Went home for a bite to eat and then back to the church.  It was the funeral of Ivy Sawyer and Stuart asked us to make the tea.  We ended up staying until the end, clearing up etc.  Tony, the son in law of the lady who funeral it was, wanted to give us money for all the work we did but I said give a donation to the church.  He gave me £40 to put in the box - very generous!  Got home at about 5pm and went to sleep on the sofa! 
Have now got my pension sorted out.  Had to return all the paperwork today by Special Delivery.
We were thinking we might go to Hyde Hall RHS Garden tomorrow as they have a Design and Craft Show this weekend which looks quite good.
