first day at school to A&E!!

Port light is still surrounded by ice ! it was Ella's first day at school. Skidded down Bolberry Hill, just missing the wall at the bottom. Land Rover technology not at its best. Hazel took our neighbour Angie Walker to the shop. The went broadside down the hill. The council will not grit our hill so did our community service and attached the trailer to the discovery, went down the hill and filled up the trailer from the grit bin. Hazel drove up the hill at walking pace with me stood in the trailer shovelling grit out. Trapped my middle finger between the shovel and trailer. Finger went black and I was in agony. Worse than child birth !! Took 3 Codine and felt very odd. We went for a walk around Bolberry Downs. It was great. Very still and we could see the Lizard point and Dartmour Very clear. National trust planning to put a new path across the field which they had just purchased. It will run from just passed the style, down to Hope Barton and pick up the walk through the valley. A great walk for pet walkers, families and us. Hazel took me to A & E. Had finger xray. Not sure if it is fractured but told I could wait until tomorrow for result from x ray. Nurse not happy I took 3 codine !! Had to come home and sit down to be spoilt by my lovely caring wife !. Ella looking forward to school again. Bolberry Down busy again with pet walkers. They are surprised the council gritted the hill but are very pleased. Said nothing but they owe me a pint. Matt Walker our neighbour and Health & safety man starts his "Deal or no deal" on Friday. Told it will be very entertaining. He had to wash off the "www. portlight.co.uk" off his forehead ! Emily is still snow bound in Cornwall. hopefully she can come up tomorrow with her new camera as we are going to shoot the new pictures on the bar area for our website. Th phone has been very busy with enquiries and bookings. Always gets busy when people sat at home bored so decided on their holiday in Devon.
