I need some fresh eyes on it.. so I am inviting you to check it out at www.divekohtao.com

10th September 2014
I was up bright and early this morning as I accompanied Charles to Froome to buy some livestock. Young bulls to be precise.
We set off around 8am for the 2hr journey. The roads were pretty clear and we arrived at Froome market/auction in good time to have breakfast and have a quick look at some of the stock for auction.
It's a long ole day. The auctioneer does an amazing job. as there were over 300 calves to auction off. By the time we'd sorted and loaded Charles new purchases into the trailer, it was almost 2pm.
The drive back was much slower, especially with a fully loaded trailer.
We passed Stone Henge, which was nice to see. Lots of tourists about taking photo's
Once back at the farm, we unloaded the young calves into a pen into the barn where they'll be divided again, so they'll have more room to roam and play.

We've both been busy little bee's.
Saturday I got up around 9am and cleaned the whole house which took me a while. I think I finished around midday. Si had in the meantime been working on web pages and other UK work.
I left Simon around 1pm and popped over to Rosie's Tea Shop ..if you've not been then you'd better pay a visit. Rosie & Pip were very busy, I walked in and went straight the sink and started washing up :-D The amount of people in for cream teas was crazy. All sorts, oldies & youngsters. I only popped in to say 'Hi' and nearly 2 hrs later, I was still serving, taking orders and washing up ..it was great fun. I think Rosie & Pip were glad of the help. We did have a laugh, all sorts of characters call in.
Saturday night was spent pottering ...we didn't go out. I was busy putting things on Ebay :-D
Yesterday (Sunday) was lovely day. We all went to Fiona & Chris's for a lovely roast chicken followed by multiple puddings :-D Why is it that you always eat too much :-D Thankfully after lunch we all went for a lovely walk across the fields.
Today(Monday) has been glorious weather and making the most of it, I went out on the bike, calling in at Fiona's for a cream tea whilst Simon was making his way down to Kent to see his Mother and then onto Hoo for a meeting with one of his clients.
I'm making dinner tonight as Rosie's at the NEC in Birmingham. Shepherds Pie and Apple Crumble. Easy!!!

5th September 2014
It's been a busy couple of days. I've been out cycling and have had the help of Rosie and Fiona to sort a few things out in our lock-up. The first trip was with just Rosie and when I opened the doors, I think she was surprised with how crammed it was. So after moving a few things out, like the ping pong table, leather sofa's, futon and various boxes, we had room to move and to see what was what. After some consideration as to what should be kept/thrown, I decided to get rid of the sofa's. They had a small bit of mould on them and on closer inspection, they were pretty tatty. Our futon and a few other bits and pieces were packed in the back of Rosies car and brought back to the farm so I could photograph them and put on Ebay in order to raise a few pennies.
After our first trip, we unloaded the car, had coffee and a sandwich then Rosie, Simon and I all went back to the lockup to load the sofa's into the car and take to the dump. Once the car was loaded up, Si left as he had UK work to do. He needs to go through all the electrical stuff we have in storage.
Moving and sorting furniture etc is hard work ..and I'm finding it really difficult to let go of things. It's been great that I've had my sisters Rosie and Fiona to help, it's made my life so much easier.
Always good to take a flask of coffee and sandwiches and to contemplate :-D

3rd September 2014
I on the other hand, changed clothes and headed out on my bike to meet my sister Fiona and my God daughter Iona for a cycle. I was running late and peddled my heart out to try and make up some time as I said I'd meet them on the canal path near Odiham but by the time I joined the canal at Dogmersfield, Fiona and Iona were already there, sat at a bench with a little picnic ready to munch :-D
With the weather being so lovely, it's been great going out for cycles every day.
We said hello to some pigs.
..did some climbing
and a bit of exploring

31 August 2014
Since being back in the UK it's been pretty hectic with one thing and another.
The weekend we got back we stayed one night at my sisters on the farm, in Heckfield and then on the Monday, drove down to Roy's.... Simon's brother in Hoo for combined Birthday/Anniversary bash.
On the Wednesday, my other sister, Fiona came over with Iona and Chloe and we spent most of the time messing around in the garden, playing cricket and then riding about the farm on the bike and pulling each other around in the go kart. After lunch and later in the day, I packed some clothes and went with Fiona and the girls back to theirs for a sleep over. Simon joined us later as he'd been at work most of the day.
Thursday morning, Simon and I were greeted in bed with a lovely cuppa ..Thank you Iona & Chloe!!
It was so lovely to be spoilt. After breakfast we headed back to the farm where Si continued working and I changed and cycled back over to Odiham to meet Fiona and Iona for a cycle ride along the canal stopping at King Johns Castle for refreshments :-D
We cycled a good few miles in total, along the canal, on/off road and I just want to say what an amazing job Iona did for someone who's only just learnt to ride a bike.
