Tuesday 3 June 2008






Today means a journey up to see Gran and Grandfer up at Chagford. Heidi is dressed up in her spotty frock and spotty bloomer pants, plus some knitted bootees made by Rachel’s mum.

Once there she gets her usual cuddles plus a few more cards and gifts await her. I whiz across to South Zeal to pick up my Nomadic mat, a neoprene blanket that can be used as a basha, windshield, mat or rain cover. I guess it could also double as a vast and lavish baby changing mat as it is waterproof too. It is in Raspberry so that Heidi can roll about on damp grass and keep the sun off her too.

Rachel’s dad has also taken delivery of a tractor, which Heidi shows little interest in. Rachel however is up in the cab looking at the controls, poking about and checking for dust. It has 16 gears in forward and another 16 in reverse.

A good old roast pork lunch follows before we head across to see Audrey before we are home again and Heidi is demanding yet another feed. The day when I have to return to work is fast approaching sadly, as time with Rachel and Heidi is valuable and fun.
