Day Nine 23.03.05 William got up before James (no surprise there) James awoke shortly after to the noise of the vacuum cleaner.

We used our handy laptop again for directions and this time it did not deliver so it was back to the tr...

Day Six 20.03.05 We spent today doing some gardening. It has been particularly sunny and warm and it made sense to spend the time in the garden. We both find it difficult to sit and just do nothing, (James can achieve this but without William scratching around). We found some Perspex in the garage and some old putty and rather than take a trip to the glazier decided to try and repair the window in the kitchen ourselves. We are quite please with the...
