Day 1 - Totally new start!

Firstly bloggees, apologies for not blogging yesterday, but truly, Baggy was having such a lovely time in Kent that she ran out of day totally. So today, Creative Clara will start with yesterday. Yesterday being Sunday, which Clever Bird has decided to declare as a totally new start. Yesterday is therefore Day 1 of being pretty much back to "normal".

Baggy must be almost there or there is no way that she would have made it to the top of the ridiculously steep hill that they all went up on Saturday! This was the steps about halfway up. On Sunday Debby decided to take everyone on a "flat" walk from Shoreham to Lullingstone Castle. Minty Mutt was up for it. Baggy was ready. Calum was persuaded. It was a beautiful warm sunny day so they set off at about 10.00am.

It was around three miles to the castle. It was flat, but there was the odd obstacle in the way.

It was gorgeous countryside and a lovely day. By the time they got to the castle Calum and Baggy were feeling the effects of the hill walk the day before!

Coffee and cappuccino was partaken of before the walk back. A bit of retail therapy was undertaken en route at a hop farm shop. By the time they got back to the house it was gone 2 o'clock. Tea and cake was consumed. Yep bloggees, Baggy's diet was non-existent for two days. But the amount of calories burnt meant cake was a necessity! While they were out Baggy's younger niece Abigail very kindly read and critiqued some of Creative Clara's novel. As she is a rising superstar in the world of journalism, Baggy highly values her opinion. Clara has work to do, but Abby reckons she should keep going, so Baggy was relieved and pleased that Abby hadn't declared it to be rubbish. (Later today Clara will start typing her handwritten chapters and doing some revisions before carrying on with handwriting it as per Abby's suggestions).

Believe it or not, Furry Mama then took Minty Mutt on another walk with Debby and Pickle in the evening, before eating more (home-made healthy) food, drinking more wine and packing the car up to head home. Exhausted! Calum was driving and Freda Fretter was very glad of that because there were at least two major thunderstorms happening around them. It was torrential rain and constant flashes. Baggy has always loved storms. No longer! Clever Bird suspects it's because Hormonal Hannah is a whooz! Minty was so tired that he didn't even lift his head as they made their way through the weather.

Home late to Hinge and Bracket who were delighted that they were back. Creative Clara unpacked her laptop to blog, but Baggy decided that she needed to go to bed instead. Very lovely weekend........
