Don’t you just hate having to iron a duvet cover? The ironing board is never big enough to accommodate any one stretch of it at a time, so there are bits left trailing crumpled on the floor, which have to be redone a few times…anyway, it’s done now! The Speed Queen at the manse, along with the Jamestown wind, ensured that very little of my washing needed ironing. How things have changed!
This morning Nick and I took a walk, first cutting across the golf course to an access road behind it, which we walked along until it was about to take a steep downward hairpin bend. Walking in the other direction we came out behind Longwood House (Napoleon’s house). There is a donkey which we pass by in a field on the way home, so we stopped to pat its nose. It has a remarkably big head, although it’s not fully grown so its head probably looks proportionately bigger. In the afternoon all four of us took a walk to the Longwood store, for fun, and the donkey is definitely getting to know us – he runs along the length of the fence, keeping up with us as we walk, and then waiting to be patted. He’s terribly sweet and we’ve named him Puzzle (how unoriginal if you're a Narnia fan!)
