Jan and Dave set off at about 6am with the dogs Hattie, Bluebell and Star for their holiday.
When we get up there is the last dog Kaia to feed and take for a run before she is picked up this morning, the cats to feed and the poultry to let out and feed.
Cold but gorgeous sunny day. Mid morning I make a quick trip to Hinckley for dinner, then at 1pm Aaron is off to his game. The kids and stay home and sort ourselves into the house. The kids spend most of the day in and out of the cattery playing with the cats, as well as checking on the chickens and keeping a count of the sheep.
