A hetic weekend!

We had a lovely weekend as four of our friends came to stay and watch the murder mystery being performed in the village hall. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. They are all great characters and we spent a long time catching up with all the news beautifully embellished by Peters unique story telling!

The play was a great success and everyone really enjoyed themselves (including the cast) and entered into the spirit of the evening. Most of the audience dressed up in 1940’s fashion, the hall was decorated with posters and blackout curtaining and the food was fantastic (no Spam in sight)! (I shall put some photos on the blog next week). The most surprising thing of all was that Derek remembered all of his lines (plus a little adlibbing)!

I had a close encounter with a deer this week. As I came around the bend on Cloutsham Ball, a large hind came hurtling towards me on the path. I don’t know who was more startled but luckily she veered off down across the hill. If she had run into me she could have done some serious damage!

Last week Ron was up and we walked over to Webbers Post. On the way we saw 4 huge stags appearing the mist and they were only 50 yards away from us. The following evening Derek went on the same track on Paddy with the camera and managed to get some great shots but not of the stags (they must of heard him coming)!
