We're a bit frazzled and ready… Continue reading On holiday (again)

I'm almost at the end of the week of intense discussions on every possible topic. I'm exhausted at this stage.

Looking back on our holiday
So we've arrived at the grey middle of September. I can hardly believe that it's over a month since we returned from our long awaited holiday in France. We took all the stuff, and didn't need some of it. We had an amazing time though. I ate all the cheese and patisseries, sat in the… Continue reading Looking back on our holiday

Not that interesting? Well, I'm actually going to work at work. In the office. In Cambridge, 150+ miles away. For the first time since November 2019!

2021 Holiday Highlights: Lincolnshire
The last couple of years have been varied holidays and I've managed to keep lovely diaries of what we got up to (see 2019 and 2020) as well as during our break in Whitby in May 2021.
