Morning all...Waitrose were running this scheme with 15 or 20 allowed in and then a line to wait for one to come out - rather nice and serene shopping once in, after a 20 minute wait. The drawing of the cottage underway and the pencil work done - can only do an hour and fifteen given the gardeners around, despite all the space - got chastised by the Oberlieutenant-Gruppen-Fuehrer on Day 1 about being out in working hours and it should only be after 4.30 when the gardeners finish - and bloody ridiculous as there's 3000 acres with three or four gardeners and about a dozen residents....and the sheep.
However, it's a battle not worth fighting over. Hopefully it stays sunny for the weekend but I fear that will not be the case.
