So how are the old folk getting along, I hear you ask?

Thank you for asking.  They are all fine and mostly on time for their breakfast every morning.  Sometimes I have to shout for them when they are far away and have forgotten, which is fair enough as they have the combined age of over 150!

And this summer is treating them well.

While I am south (going Friday to Edinburgh for four days), they will be fed by OH and on bare  minimum rations – one scoop of unmolassed soak beet and Bibble will get his pills. That is the priority and all that must be done.

All other supplements will be omitted as it only gets complicated.  Everyone can last for four days without extras.

So all I have to do now is write out the list of who has what and when, who should be where and why, and who can do their own thing and suck it up, buttercup! (Lambie)
