Back to work. Like I said the other day, I had quite a bit of trepidation about going back to the office. Not the normal end of holiday feeling, something different that I can’t really describe. It was really like a deep desire not to leave the comfort and routine of my new family, but, […]
Off to Peebles today to see Granny and a whole load of other people. After a long discussion, we decided not to call Pickfords but to handle the removal of royal court for the day ourselves, a decision which we think was largely correct [well we would say that because I’m nearly as stubborn as
