OBLIGATORY BLUEBELL BLIP

I went to say goodbye to Bluebell before I left but she was annoyed because I'd disturbed her when I made Mum's bed so she refused to acknowledge my presence. I always wonder if she'll be there next time - she's 20 or 21 and terribly frail, but she keeps on hanging on thank goodness.

Farnham was like Narnia - once I got out of it Spring gradually happened and despite the cold wind the rest of the journey was sunny and almost snow-free, although I'd spent half an hour before I left shovelling snow and putting down salt between Mum's back door and the drive!
