We don’t have much to report on this week. We travelled back from Vancouver Island on Saturday, had a very lazy Sunday and then got back into the work week.
We have had a few chances to socialise, starting with dinner at Thom and Hannah’s. Hannah’s pumpkin and chocolate cake was exquisite and we look forward to forcing her to make it again. Tom and Maria, who we went to Illal Mountain with, finally bought a BBQ. This meant we could have our first BBQ of the summer at a cloudy beach, where we had to be extremely vigilant of the amassing seagulls. A few other nights of drinks have led to us craving an early Friday night!
Maria told us about Squid Game, a new Korean Netflix show which is getting very popular. She showed great restraint on Sunday night by watching all nine episodes in succession, staying up until 4am and missing a morning of work. We have managed to successfully limit our consumption to one episode per night so far.
This weekend we are going to attempt walking to Mount Burwell, mainly because Rosie’s sister, Lucy, lives in a village called Burwell. The weather doesn’t look great, but the snow will be here before we know it so we are going to go anyway. On Sunday, Ollie will be doing some more trail maintenance and hopefully testing out some of his previous work too.

Never knew how much I missed many pictures of majestic mountain scenery until there weren’t any! Oh well, there’s always next week!. Hope you enjoyed your holiday, back to mountain climbing now…. No rest for the wicked!

On behalf of all Burwellians, we are extremely honoured that you have chosen to climb our mountain. It is a great salute to the village and will be remembered for years to come. Although I ask sure the views won’t be as spectacular as they are at the top of our windmill.
I am glad you had a good week away, you obviously had a good trip if you needed Sunday to recover. May you be powered up the mountain by chocolate cake, sausages and angry seagulls!

In Canada, visiting Chesterfield could be slang for sitting on the sofa/couch all day.
