I was going to show you a lovely picture of the sunrise over the bay, but unfortunately the sun seems to have stopped rising! 60 days with rain every day now and we're fed up with it - but we must be in for a lovely dry November, just the time to have a sneaky week-end away.

The photo is of Dougie's barley field LAST YEAR when we were worried whether he'd get it in on time. He did. However this year the same field has had to be turned into silage because he didn't manage to get it in on time. The awful problems of being a farmer when the weather turns against you.

Still the village has moved into winter mode - Golf Club Dinner next week, SEVEN people at badminton (that's a lot) and a swinging evening of singing and brass bands at the Women's Guild. Can you resist coming to see us?
