We went on holiday to Wales. We stayed in a yurt and it rained and rained and rained. But we loved it!

Just good friends

There is nothing better than spending time with old friends, reminiscing, laughing, and sometimes just sitting quietly. Shared memories bring such comfort - I suppose we go through life making and banking them until they are all we have left. I hope the memories I make will continue to be happy and warm!

A perfect English weekend

Raspberry picking, Pimms, tennis and breakfast in the garden: we just had the most beautiful English weekend back at home - much like the ones I remember when I was younger. It was so nice to just sit, alternating between sun and shade, dozing and crosswording, the gentle sounds of the munching cows in the field next door occasionally drifting over the wall. On Sunday we celebrated my big sister's birthday - dad woke us up with Stevie W's 'Isn't she lovely?' at top volume. I would have loved to have seen mum and dad in those first moments with my sister - a little bundle of unknown. How scary and exciting and how lucky we all are to have her now - it was a treat to be able to spend the day with her - birthdays at home are always the best.




And to top it off, we arrived home to our first harvest of red strawberries! Yippee!
