No long trips again today. The weather was quite dismal again - a typically English Summer's Day! The plan had been to go to Longleat and we awoke with that in mind. However, both children were not keen - especially Tom who complained of aching legs following his hard football training yesterday. The fence is coming on slowly and our neighbours next door have had the entrance to their drive paved to avoid a nasty lip which can ground the cars. We have arranged to have the same done in a couple of weeks. This morning I dealt with some Complex accounts. This afternoon I went into Andover to do some banking, visit the post office and do some shopping. A terrible "agricultural smell" pervaded the whole town making the experience less than pleasant. I do like shopping in Andover as you can park much more cheaply than Salisbury and everything is in easy distance. The town has the same, if not a better, choice of shops. I also found a small Christian bookstore which sells the BRF publications. This will be so useful if I ever need to get extra copies for people. I had hoped to play some golf this afternoon but the visit to Andover and the weather stopped that idea. Tonight Sara went to Lockerley for a meeting about the Brownie Pack Holiday next week and returned dressed as a cowgirl - the theme for the week will be The Wild West if you couldn't guess. I sent the evening writing up my two articles for the Parish Magazine and watched another episode of "On the Buses" before having an early night (i.e. before midnight!)
