Plough day

Thankyou Donna a lovely one for this entry !

Well I really dont know where to start it seems ages since I did an entry ,This is Maurices second week back at work and I'm still not back into the routine ,still got lots to tell from when he was off ,This weekend .....

Started when he came off nights, Friday morning it was his Birthday ,he had to stay back for a meeting so was late in, he opened his cards and presents ,I had bought him some fishing stuff he wanted, some books  and a DVD ,he had been complaining of pains in his wrist and lower arm ,he must have been in pain because he rang up and got an appointment with the Doctor ,wow ?The Doctor diagnosed Tendonitis ?spelling ! he came home and went to bed shattered ,It rained all Friday ,much like today ,so I went and cashed his prescription for some ointment ,I got soaked through .....I then made dinner, his favourites ,he ate his dinner then slept most of the evening on the couch ,Happy Birthday Maurice .

Saturday, bright and sunny and warm complete contrast to Fridays weather ,I went shopping, Maurice started the fireplace he is making for Mark my son and his wife Chrissy ,We then went to Peterborough were Jackie and Mike had invited us for a Birthday dinner for Maurice spent a lovely Saturday evening with them ,After some over night rain ,yesterday turned out really nice and warm with lots of sunshine ,Maurice and I were joined here by Jean and her husband Pete ,Mark and Chrissy ,and we all went to the country fair and Plough day at the Rural Museum here....

I had offered to help ,so as we got there the others went on their way and I went and reported for duty ...Jane gave me a badge and said would I like to help on the book stall ,Ooh Yea  ! I went and offered myself to this man ,!!who said... theres three of us all ready ! goo over there ,I went over there and the lady laughed and said ,so many people have turned up to help we are getting in each others way (superfluous to the occasion then !! Huh )I offered to lose myself ,the lady agreed ,so I went and found the others and what a lovely day we had We kept losing each other ,usually us girls had gone off to see something we liked and the men the same ,then we would meet up again ,greeting each other with have you seen this .....

Jean and I went and joined the plough service,a few prayers to bless the plough and thankyou for the harvest ,The vicar explained until he came here,from Birmingham(in the midlands ) harvest festival offerings were of cans etc ,here it is real produce of the land ,and he was abit apprehensive about the big Shire and Suffolk Punch horses ,and we all rejoiced with him when he found himself patting and being nuzzled by one ,We sang 'We Plough the Fields and scatter the good seed on the land,for it is fed and watered by Gods almighty hand'  it was lovely all there in the sunshine ,me and my little sis ,while the men (heathens)were watching the various ploughing competions that were going on , 

After the service we looked around I even bought some books from the man who turned my services down !So much to see and do .Jean Chrissy and I went and joined a SAHAJA yoga relaxation session and all came away amazed at the way it made us feel ,how warm and relaxed and such good feeling all round well being ,I coudnt believe it I was prepared to scoff ,but it was an excellent experiance ,and we all agreed .We found the men or did they find us this time ?so we had some refreshments before starting again ,we looked at the lady making the lace who turned out to be a teacher of domestic science,when Jean was at school who had taught her ,We saw the quilts and were enthralled at old ones from over a hundred years ago ,so yes we all had a good day out in the sunshine .then all home to ours for a cuppa before they all went home and on this late September day ,we sat in the garden chatting ,laughing and all feeling very good about life .....

Have a good week everyone ,Jan xx
