Stepping Up

It made something of a pleasant change to spend a weekend at home in Sheffield. It gave us a chance to get some jobs done around the house. I did some more painting which Sydney decided he was going to help with hence his nice coloured streak in his tail. And Liam cast a new concrete step for the front door. This is still curing and has a few more days to go yet before we can reveal it from it's plywood box and see if it has been a success.

Being at home also gave us a chance to give the house a proper clean from top to bottom. It looks much better now although we didn't think it was that bad to start with!

But it wasn't all work and no play. We did the rounds yesterday visiting family and then we had time to have a drive out to The Strines for a quick drink although we should have cottoned on that with it being Fathers Day it would be silly busy, so we only had one quick drink before heading back to The Cow and Calf closer to home. 

Then with one more drink consumed it was time to head home and start the Sunday roast chicken. I do miss not having a roast dinner on a Sunday when we are on the boat.
