What about the house?

Well the house was all finished before Christmas. Up to date pictures are on the Picassa web site. However we have not got the electricity connected yet and so cannot move in. Before Christmas we were advised to wait until afterwards to apply and then grace fell seriously ill. Now recovered, but not back to full strength we are in the process of beginning the application for connection. Once that happens we can make the final move. It is already just over a year since we started building so I am anxious we should move as soon as we can.

St David's Day

Is it really six months since I wrote anything here? Apologies, I must try harder.

Today is St David's day, St David is my confirmation saint and especially to all my Welsh family and friends I wish a happy feast day.

I always liked St David because he was "local" and reading his biography on Wikipedia it shows that he was strongly independent as well, consecrated archbishop by the Patriarch of Jerusalem. His monastic followers were expected to abstain from alcohol and meat and pull the plough themselves not use beasts of burden! Hmm.. perhaps I don't want to follow him too literally!
