It has been a long time coming?

Have been so busy since Michael got home. What with shopping for a wedding outfit, going to the health club,typing a load of stuff for Michael and keeping topside of his emails, working on the allotment and trying to get my garden in order plus the usual housework and shopping etc, I just haven't had a minute and as I get older my energy levels aren't what they used to be.
I also get too tired to write it at night so will have to get up earlier and do it in the morning whilst I still have the energy.
We have had wonderful weather for the last few days so have been outside whenever I can.
The wedding was lovely, a good day and evening was had by all. They had a hog roast for the evening food and it was brilliant. Had the breadcakes, stuffing, apple sauce, wonderful crackling and hot roast pork. We were in a village hall, a draped marqee had been put up inside, there were 60 at the reception, the disco wasn't too loud and the bride bought her dress off the internet. It was a copy of a designer one made in China for £100, here it would have cost her at least £1000 to buy.
Joseph has got a big white van and is talking of going into business with Paul, Karons brother, he is a qualified plasterer and can turn his hand to most building work jobs.
Natasha is on a 5 week sabbatical from work to enable her to concentrate on her upcoming 2nd year exams. Naomi only has a couple of weeks left at school before taking her 'A' levels then all the grandkids are in the adult world so to speak.
Rachael is well and will be moving into her new flat this month, she is sharing with her girl friend.
Liam and Roxanne are like Dick and Lil and gypsy is well but getting a bit stiff in her joints.
Rebecca, we assume, is ok and Danny is back with his girlfriend after a short break up.
Everyone else is ok.
Our chickens and ducks paid for their own food this time round. We sell the eggs at a £1 for half a dozen. Organic eggs in the supermarket sell for £1.69 half a dozen and ours are much fresher, straight from the henhouse to the kitchen and often eaten on the same day, cannot be beaten.
Will post some piccies when I get sorted. Am off for an early morning swim, it is hot already.

Yes, ours are small and mighty though and we are in competition with the supermarkets. Bet your Chickens aren't fed on good organic food and home made mash??
