It’s been raining almost every day since we got back from London – I’ve been filling up the freezers with lots of baking. We finally had a sunny day yesterday and we all made the most of it. Lots to do. Our two Mourne Park ride-on mowers have been playing up and the grass gets out of control very quickly here in Northern Ireland. The Toro – a proper golf course mower – needs a new hydraulic pump. Totally out of action! Our normal ride-on overheats every half hour or so and is showing signs of a limited life. Is is now known as the “Terror”!! Yesterday we had a borrowed ride-on arrive to help out – much appreciated. This meant both “boys” where out and about, each on a red ride-on, both going for it! Well maybe the Terror was a little out of its depth – it still needed regular breaks but it survived! So it was definitely a boys and their toys day! In the middle of all the activity Chris decided to make a little video. It’s called “Reg getting a jump start.” Directed and produced by Chris Smith, staring Reginald John Wilkinson and a little surprise guest! It’s all about the frustration “Terror” has recently brought into their lives. Very funny!
I have been very busy working on this web site. Lots of reloading of photos, tidying up blogs, and putting those little arrows on the map. Still heaps to do. Haven’t even started putting things in categories or series. It will happen – just not that quickly. Got stuck into some gardening again yesterday – bottom in the air, head in the bushes. Had a few visits from a very curious little bird. Finally got a photo of him as he was checking out my work. Very cute!!
Ended the day with a BBQ under a tree next to Chris’s cottage. Good food, a nice red, good company. Lovely location!
Love Di and Reg
PS Maurey is still enjoying being in the field near our cottage. Lovely to see him so close by!

Fantastic update and pictures again Di! Poor Reg!! 😀
Reg seems to have recovered – not sure if “Terror” is behaving any better though! Thanks for the video Chris. You are very talented!!
Classic!
Hollywood beckons!!!!
