October 1st

Dear Heidi,

 Now you have been away a whole month. Here we have blustery wet weather, and I see you are having beautiful warm sunshiny days! Over near Kristiansand they are having floods and landslides, but here it is simple raining again.

 Pappa and D brought all the pumpkins over, they are stacked around the pillar in the front yard. I have put a few cornstalks in the greenhouse to dry out, then I will add them to the pillar too. The Halloween calendar is up, and I shall put out the black and orange china on the dresser this week.

Finally they are finished with the harvest, all but the cleaning and greasing and putting into the barn again! It never ends! Then on Friday Pappa is going hunting for a week, and D will go with him when he has the day off from work. He is still only doing about 50%.

Tomorrow, of course, is W’s 14th Birthday!! Aunty S is going to visit him, which I’m pleased about. He will have to wait until half term for his present. At least he will have his HP book 3 on Tuesday. Sadly his mackerel fishing trip today was cancelled due to bad weather.

I hope that you have pleasant sailing weather, and enjoy all that fresh fruit I SAW YOU loading on the video!

Love and hugs,
Mamma.
