Catch up

Sorry sorry sorry. It's been quite a week; between flights, funerals, imminent births, football championships - watched by G and B in local bar cheering along with locals and fed free booze thereafter - and very encouraging visitation by inspector, that involved much work beforehand, writing lively prose, or at least trying to has not exactly been on Granny's to-do list lately.

And tomorrow - after making yet another batch of strawberry jam and fig compote to feed what MAY be a flood of guests, depending on the inspector - but it looks hopeful - she is off back to England to await the birth and catch up with her family.

She will write properly from there. Cheers.
