Farm park

I met up with a girl I kind of know today.  We went to our local 'farm park' as the boys call it, although it was a bit more of a drive for her.  She has recently had her life turned utterly upside down and for long, complicated reasons is now the legal guardian of a 18 month old girl, which she wasn't expecting to happen.  She is single, full time job, hadn't seen this coming, although did have to go to court to become the guardian of the little girl. 

What she has achieved is quite amazing, she has found it very tough, but is doing the most wonderful job. Hats off to her (and then some).  

Her little girl is quite lovely, the boys had a really nice time playing with her and we all had a really enjoyable day. 

Home to the husband who had thought a DIY job would be a 'quick' one. It wasn't, and also turned out to the the dustiest job to date.  I had cleaned the house from top to bottom first thing and literally could have cried when I walked into the house (I very nearly did). Fish and chips for dinner for the boys, as the kitchen was in no state for cooking in.
