The Weekend of Sun and Fun.

Greetings on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. It is glorious here. You find me in a good space mentally. 

I'm listening to Turandot and have a table booked at The Waggoners for 1 pm.

Yesterday I caught the bus to St Albans, lovely lunch at Bar Meze followed but a couple of pints with a friend and her son. Also bought a linen jacket. 

So all seems well. 

There has been a huge spike in hits on the blog. All from Singapore which makes me suspicious it is just a bot rather than actual people. But who knows?

July will be a month for travelling. Kent next weekend, Cambridge the weekend after and then off to Kent again for Beth's wedding at the end of the month. 

Not sure what culinary adventures I have in the coming weeks. Something lovely I hope. Enjoy Sunday everyone.

Summer has Finally Arrived.

After months of cold, wet and grey skies summer is finally here! At last! My uncertain mental state has not been helped by the cold.

You find me on a quiet Sunday morning listening to Handel's Julius Caesar and drinking iced water. Last week I had an awful cold but feeling much better now.

Despite feeling terrible I triumphed at work, lit up a huge room of some 80 teachers in a really high performing school with my workshop on self harm. I helped some young people. And got involved in getting experts by experience into roles in the Trust. 

As for my last post I did not walk away. I got pragmatic by adopting the difficult stance of just accepting the contact I have as a bonus and just work through the silence in between. 

Last weekend I had a visitor and we had a lovely time. Even walked through the woods to The Waggoners. The roast beef was sublime. 

Got a few plans in place for the next 6 weeks or so. Hope to see dad in Kent at the end of the month. My long awaited return to Cambridge is coming up in early July. Going to stay with Jayne and attend a reunion at King's. Then at the end of July I'm going to Beth's wedding in Kent. Must get my linen suit cleaned for that.

With I'll leave you from a position of relatively good mental health and the thought that I will cook roast turkey later.
