Brrr! and brie

Shortly after I finished writing my last entry on this blog, it started snowing. Lots of my friends will have heard me wittering on about how it is only so many days until 18th November and that this is the date when the snow seems to start here in Rhayader and hey-presto! yet again this year, it arrived as expected. Brrr!

Yesterday afternoon I leapt into the car and headed off to Cardiff where I met Cecily from the train and we spent a lovely evening together. I treated her to a pizza at her favourite pizza restaurant and then we went to see The Stereophonics at Cardiff International Arena (I hate this venue, but the band were superb!). Then I trundled her back to Bath Spa University and headed back towards home. Thank goodness my mother lives not too far from Bath, so I borrowed a bed for the night and finished my journey home this morning, making a quick stop at Sainsburys for some basic supplies on the way.

Dave was still busy with the woodwork in the shop when I got back, but it is looking very smart. He has completed the shop counter (where the till will sit and I will be able to wrap items purchased in the shop) and is now carefully boxing in electrical sockets so that they are not accessible to public (better to take the time now than deal with an acccident at a later date).

I spent the rest of the afternoon parcelling up our most recent orders and preparing the paperwork for the couriers and parcelforce (still no internet connection at work, so still running back and forth to our home ~ thank goodness we don't live too far from the unit!).

This evening will be a very gentle one. I find driving long distances really knocks the energy out of me and there has been plenty of driving over the last week. So our plan is to put our feet up and take it easy... in reality this translates into Dave mending Cecily's computer which has been giving her trouble (I brought back with me today) and I will be sewing, listing our new arrivals on the website and answering email enquiries.

Ooh, I have just remembered that I bought a big piece of Brie whilst shopping today... I had better go and sample it.

Chat soon, Liz
