Happy birthday sweetie pie


It's Jan's birthday today and, as a treat, I let her help me chop a huge pile of wood. After about 30 minutes and a lot of cursing, I managed to get the chain saw working. It hadn't been used for ages so needed freeing up.
Jan ferried the wood over to the horse and I scythed through it with the machine. We had it all finished by 11.30 because, when all is said and done, there's only so much fun that you can have in a morning.

It's amazing how self righteous you feel after accomplishing a niggling, back breaking job like that. If you look over the horizon and see a halo floating over our village, you'll understand what it is.

Such a romantic devil you are, Alex! You should not spoil Jan so much....I assume the halo was Jan's not yours of course?!

Happy Birthday Jan from the Upex Clan! May your birthdays improve as the years go by.....they surely could not get worse than being made to chop logs on your special day?!

Lots of love to you both
