Am in Cornwall and had weather that I have never experienced in the last 10 years that I have been coming here. Went, with old friends, by boat to St. Mawes and sat on the terrace of a hotel eating lunch with a breathtaking view and wondered if there was anywhere better to be in the world……….
Have left two daughters at home with their dog and so far have had about 10 calls asking questions about cooking though have to admit have phoned them equally as much as am missing them. I know they drive me to distraction, at times, but they also are the best daughters a mother could have – particularly when 250 miles away!! I worry about the house as the last two times we have left the girls at home there have been parties, once our neighbour phoned us in Tunisia to inform us that they were struggling to sleep, and the other time we returned to, what the girls thought was a clean and tidy house, but there was so much evidence including chewing gum stuck to the floor (revolting) and a broken door handle (don’t ask) and a dustbin full of bottles!
So now the days get shorter but so long as the sun remains with us I don’t mind though I am not sure the sun is going to be shining too strongly tomorrow as it is Budget Day!!
