A dry and sunny today becoming cooler later with warnings of an overnight frost for my visit to Harnser, where my first task was to mow the lawns in Horning and to seed the new one after raking it over.
I opened up the Paxton Princess to air the cabins and then went shopping before preparing for Scotland. Training Sam all day
Up early and out with Sam in what has become our latest routine. He was quite obedient and caused no trouble even though I made minimal use of the lead. Some time for him in the garden and another walk over to the bus stop with the girls. Diana took off for Cambridge to see her parents and do some shopping and I loaded up the Range Rover and got Sam aboard. A short chat with Bill and then away. Quite a lot of lorry traffic today, but then it was really the first weekday because of the Bank Holiday. Even so I had time to stop for a mug of tea and a bacon roll and still made the trip in two hours.

A nice sunny day and my first task was to mow the lawns at Heronshaw and to seed the new one after raking it over. Sam was happy being confined in his new "dog pound". I just had some old cake from the cupboard and water for lunch! I opened up the Paxton Princess to air the cabins and started the engines and got the batteries charged up. Then off to Stalham, Potter Heigham and Wroxham to buy fishing tackle, dog bedding & bones, food and other items before getting back to take Sam for his evening walk. I enjoyed a sea-food tea and then spent the evening sorting out tools and other things that I might need to take back for home and Scotland before ending up watering sodium chlorate weed-killer over the weedy gravel until dark. I shall now have to be very careful of letting the dog out until the weeds are dead and the effects have worn off! It was dry and sunny today but became quite cool later with warnings of an overnight frost.
