Dreamy Dorset

Dorset was a really lovely break - so good we didn't want to come home. The weather was kind to us - it only rained twice I think - and despite a few health hiccups, it was just what was needed.

I also saw my dear friend Av which was a bonus, and drove home in torrential rain which made me value the good weather all the more.

It was my birthday on Sunday and, not having expected anything, I had a wonderful day. C took me out for breakfast, then Fiona and I did the last walk for the Poldark book, stopping at Charlestown for a drink, where we bumped into Av and her husband again! That was followed by a lovely meal cooked by friends, so I felt truly lucky.

Now of course it's back to work with a vengeance - I have two weeks to finish the book in. And I left my brain in Dorset. Come back please all is forgiven, and I need you.......
