Back from seclusion


Vanessa, Jamie and I have just returned from our four days in a hut.

As the picture shows, it was indeed a fine hut we stayed in - one of the best. But a hut nonetheless.

In addition to simply having a bit of time "away," the primary purpose of our visit - to a field just outside Richmond in North Yorkshire - was to celebrate Vanessa's birthday. And we were able to do just that with a nice pub lunch yesterday and some posh food and champagne in our hut last night.

Vanessa even had a little cake - although Jamie seemed much more interested in the candle.

However, getting out and about yesterday was something of a luxury for, with the exception of a quick sprint to Tesco in Catterick on Thursday afternoon and a swifty in our local round the corner on Friday, we were essentially snowed in for the rest of the time. Indeed, our trip into Richmond yesterday involved a three-mile round trip buggy push along narrow country roads. But it was well worth it.

I'll tell and show you more tomorrow but, with the weekend almost at an end, it's sadly time to iron a shirt for Monday morning...BOO!
