i wish

wish we could be with you in cornwall. My favourite place on earth, no doubt. Never been to Padstow but please have a good one and raise a glass to us.

Moreton in the Marsh sounds good too....mmm a nice pint o'.....MMMM

The mistral is wrapping itself wildly round our house and we have had a quiet hungover day after dinner last night with blog friends (gail of openbrackets.com and dean of textism.com) who brought out an entire collection of chateauneuf du pape and californian classics. Our Cuvée Florence and Cuvée V (our two favourite wines EVAH) hardly got a look in. Julian is replying to the fan mail.(What's new!) Power cuts abound. It's nice to be home!

My best friend with whom I shared a room since the age of 11, Carla, is coming Tuesday for 2 months and staying in a gite walking distance down the road. Perfect! It'll be nice to have a GIRLFRIEND around! Tomorrow there's Bedoin market (if anything stays on the stands in the mistral) and my yoga class and the bio dynamic builder coming round to give us a quote at 4. OK, I'll skip padstow and MOtM just this once but next time....

ps my concert in Uzes while you are all going to be here has just been cancelled. they won't let the soloist away from the Salzburg festival for more than a day. Sorry.
