My son Richie, who lived here with me when he was 13 - 15, came for a week's visit, so, in between his outings with old friends, we put him to work.

On arrival, bonding with the dog
Carving up the old decking with the electric chainsaw. The decking has been unstable since Mad Robbie deconstructed it to take out the camper van, so it was a pleasure to finally stabilise it and put a neat edge to it.
This is the planned area for the new car-port, so the work had suddenly become urgent.
Next we put Richie to chopping kindling for the stove.
Thursday evening, after choir, Dave and I rounded up some cool people to come for supper and meet Richie, some he knew, and some were new to him.

Hannah, the photographer, took a portrait shot
Back at work, chopping up the pumpkin harvest for cooking and freezing.
Last day, adopted by the dog.
Out with friends during the week
Supper at the Yacht Club with the boring older generation!
