I’m here crossing my fingers because tomorrow, with a bit of luck, someone will arrive to install ADSL at the farmhouse. This last month without Broadband access has felt really strange. I’ve hardly been surfing at all on the Internet and the blog has slowed almost to a standstill.
Mind you, I think it will also be a problem to find the time to surf. These last four weeks we have been falling into bed every night totally exhausted from all the jobs that need doing around the house and the land. Today, for example, I mowed the meadow – which took 3 hours even though I was regally seated on my mowing machine dispensing royal waves to passing cyclists.
Add to that we now have a dog – a 3-year-old chocolate brown Labrador – who needs lots of attention every day. Quiet life in the country? You have got to be joking! I think it was quieter when I was working for my living. Still, this life is giving more satisfaction.
Hopefully, more updates to follow once ADSL is installed…
