Impassive

After all the moaning I’ve been doing about the dearth of dragons around here this year, today turned out to be a Very Good Day Indeed. R and I were tidying the garden this afternoon, in preparation for the family … Continued

Gold

R and I had a great day in Cardiff with Baby B, who continues to surprise and amuse us. Although he still hasn’t got many recognisable words, it’s quite clear that he understands pretty much everything that’s said to him, … Continued

R and I set off for home this morning (though pledging to return to Suffolk, with which we’ve both fallen rather in love), breaking the journey at Paxton Pits in Cambridgeshire so that I could spend a couple of hours … Continued
