They're back!!

I was very happy this morning when I looked out of the window to see the sheep were back. It was a lovely surprise, as when we moved in this time last year the sheep had gone not to return until the Spring. What a relief that Alex's suggestion that the sheep had fallen prey to the deer was not proven to be true. I'm pleased to report that they seem to be in fine form if looking a little chilly!

40th in Bath

We visited beautiful Bath for my 40th (see to left picture of river and Pulteney Bridge in all its autumn glory and below me on my 40th at the Royal Crescent). Global warming was in full swing and it was a balmy Autumn weekend. Is it just me or was it very very cold in the 70's and 80's in November or am I just losing my memory, now that I have joined Tracey in the 40's!! Well Tuesday came and back to work after 7 months, reality really hit with a thud !! Well I'm now able to enjoy that Friday evening feeling again (you workers know what I mean!)

He doesn't look a day older

On Sunday we celebrated John's 40th birthday with an overnight stay at The Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath http://www.royalcrescent.co.uk/ - a little bit of luxury to help ease John through the pain barrier of turning 40. I keep telling him that being 6 months younger than me he will always be my toy boy. Tales about our trip to Bath to follow.....
