Diamond Jubilee

Today's the day ................................... to get back to reality

Has there been something going on then - since we've been away?

That'll be what all those flags were about - and all those special events and street parties and the rest. Whatever you've been doing - and however you have been celebrating the Jubilee - hope it all went well.

All I can say is that I have had the loveliest of weekends - in a beautiful part of the country - with good friends. We have seen and done lots - we've eaten good food and drunk good wine - we've had great discussions and put the world to rights.
