Twenty Latvian pilgrims en route to Santiago saunter along the lane on horseback. All in identical red hoodies. Bob and Sophie give each a high pitched yelp of welcome / warning. A sheepdogs territorial instincts already stirring. The horses ignore them. The pilgrims wave. Four of them stop to say hello to Bob and Sophie . Sophie graces them with a lick. Bob doesn't. Our canine guardians stay by the gate until the last of the pilgrims is safely out of sight.

The fancy builder comes when ' the font ' is out. His super shiny black Mercedes estate the size of Delaware. Angus would be much happier if he drove a beat up ten year old Renault.

Angus can quite honestly claim that during his fifty seven years on the planet he has given absolutely no thought whatsoever to soap dishes .
Bob and Sophie act like little angels when the builder is here. They revert to normal the very second he leaves.
