  1. The Pantry re-opens tomorrow. First blogpost in an absolute age will appear in the morning.
  2. Will be posting a new blog entry tomorrow. All the Carstone family are due back on Saturday. Busy week of preparation looms.
  3. My portrait is to be painted by an artist currently staying here. Well, I have experience at staying still for long periods. Should help.
  4. @fraanchie : I have indeed read Remains of the Day. Something very similar happened here in the early part of the 20thC. Will blog about it
  5. Just posted a rather self-pitying new entry on the blog. Knee throbbing quite painfully this morning.
  6. Missed my footing in the dim cellars and jarred knee quite painfully. Ouch.
  7. All cleared after breakfast. Later today I will be conducting something of a stock-check of the cellars.
  8. New post at last up on the blog. Carstone has survived the Mayoral visit despite the caterer's best efforts to destroy our morale!
  9. Last guest just gone. In the words of Pepys: and so to bed!
  10. I should perhaps point out that Mr Miles' artistic friend hasnt been invited to the function. He just strolled in!
  11. Interesting. One of Mr Miles' bohemian friends is chatting animatedly about modern art to an obviously bemused mayor
  12. Catering dont exactly exude sunshine and happiness. Smiles are rare with them.
  13. Back in butler's flat (and yes it is called that and has been for centuries!). Caterers in-and-out of the Tradesman's Entrance from 5pm.
  14. Trouble may be brewing. Outside catering tonight for the Mayor's function. Mrs Styles unimpressed and brooding darkly
  15. And so it begins. How difficult can this twitter-thing be? As some of my readers know, brevity is often my problem...
