Day 53 of Ania's Diary

A wonderful night. We kept the heating on very low and Ania slept on the caravan seats . she always wears her woolly coat I knitted for her. Here in the Devon the air is purer and her breathing brilliant. she is so happy to be here and although  -4 this morning and very frosty we all enjoyed a walk in the fields alongside the very swollen river, where the hedges have washed away in place.
While Ania enjoyed her morning sleep we were dressed in hats and coats and started to clear the mud. Between us we worked for 8 hours to clear the mud and silt. Our possessions are piled sky high outside ready to go to the tip.

We are both very tired and will do some more tomorrow. I think we will save some of the furniture and have put it outside to dry in today's sunshine.
