In memory of George Freeman

Wednesday we had sad news George our neighbour died in hospital at Lincoln,I used to give him an honorary title of Sir George and he was a great bloke,as well as a whisky drinking partner,as Hemingway put it ,"Ask not for whom the bell tolls,it tolls for thee".
The Le Blades brought three of their grandkids round and they fed the chickens and were then treated to Sheila's buns and bottles of pop,two are from Sheffield and one lives in the village,they had a scrounge round our garden and I think enjoyed the countryside a little.
We were on the beach with them a couple of days and enjoyed football and cricket on the sands,apart from a little difference Sheila had with a 14 year old grandkid ,he tangled with her splashing pop on her and she won the battle by pouring pop all over his head,Montana will know that it pays not to tangle with her.(cold baths come to mind)
