Secret Revealed!

The apples on our tree - thankfully in sunshine - summer lingers...

Think I'm safe to reveal "The Secret" - as our two youngest are now safely with friends in Fortaleza, Brazil - they wanted it to be a surprise, and some of them look at my Blips. They spent the night in Lisbon, but no details, really, except that they've been met tonight.

They have gone for 3 months - we felt quite bereft coming back to an empty house lastnight, so it was lovely to go out for a good dinner at friends' tonight.
