The day has almost run away with me. How did we find time to go to work all those years and driving around the M25 for many years? So today comprised food shopping, routine hygienist appointment (sadly Mary’s last day at the practise as she is semi retiring), a few hours spent in the garden (it was getting hotter by the minute and I am sure was warmer than the 17 degrees they claimed on the news tonight), then a mundane call from my mother in law (we only visited yesterday) and then an evening looking at accommodation proposed for a walking trip for our group in the autumn. We were all set and then I found by accident that the hotel was up for sale and I got cold feet at the idea.
