I hope that you all had as good a Jubilee extended weekend which we had. Each day involved at least two functions of some sort or other; meals out at friends, meals at home with friends, meals in a pub, trip to the cinema, beacons being lit, street parties and friends staying over, then being dropped at the staion by 7.30 am, they are off on a walking holiday; we are exhausted, but we did have a rather good time of it all. Then this morning one of our sons has turned up and is at this moment shampooing all our carpets for us; he has a big beast of a shampooer. In the midst all, time was found to paint; the above was finnish just an hour ago, it is of a hedgerow near Fairoaks airfield. So we had a super time, enjoyed friends, were thankfull for the Queen and appreciated having super sons. I even managed to fit in a letter to our local MP, lucky chappie.

I think my favorite bit of the festivities was her tea party with Paddington; that was inspirational.

So now, in a short while we will take Micheal out for lunch before he goes home. Then maybe nothing at all for a few days.
