Relaxing

It's been such a busy week. We have escaped to the valley for a couple of nights. Blackheath will be hectic for the long weekend no doubt, with others escaping the city (and who can blame them).

I really find I can relax down here, not that there isn't plenty to do. I have some lavender to plant, and a bay tree. Plus my photography homework for Hobbs's class and I really must start reading "Manon des Sources" in French before I resume my lessons with Valerie (a real French teacher) in July. I've also just started reading "The Orphan Master's Son", by Adam Johnson a fascinating book set in North Korea.
