I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Meanwhile, back in Gloucestershire

We are home from Carcassonne.  We flew back on Saturday evening having enjoyed lunch in Toulouse, where the city was in pre-marathon mode.  Once home, my birthday continued because there was another collection of cards waiting for me.  How lovely!

Bettine came to lunch on Sunday and there was even more present opening.  A beautiful scarf – the softest of soft – from Mary and Diana, chocolates, posh bath stuff and candles; lovely things from sweet friends and a great book from my hero to round it all off.

I mean, it’s not like I keep such things at all, is it?!

Anyway, it was back to work with a vengeance yesterday but retreating to the coffee shop with friends afterwards made the transition a little more bearable!
