cor blimey it's over! the hippy dippy rasta rainbow workers are gone (bless 'em) and Julian is just beginning to take in the new space. Of course we still have to put in electricity/loo/shower but wow, it's bloody gorgeous and finally all the packing and board gessoeing and cutting and printing and invoicing will move next door and I might have some peace around here. (not to mention a break from the humming - does anyone know the rest of the words to 'I have often walked down this street before...' jerome Kern???? HELP!!!!!)
what's the news about the house hugh and margaret. I vote chippy!
My lovely half sisters, Flora and Arabella, are coming (on their own! hoooray) for a week on July 27th, so they will catch the end of you lot. I am so looking forward to all you kids meeting. they are 14 and 16 and they are smashing!

Great news, looking forward to admiring the results of all the hard work. Looking forward to seeing all you guys again too, including the sisters!
.. but the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before ...
Do you really want the rest?!
Jan
oh yes please Jan!
Ok, you asked for it! 99% sure it goes like this: (Actually it does, I did have to check one or two bits I forgot on the internet ... cheat!) Enjoy - hope you can get the song out of your head at bedtime too!
I have often walked down the street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every other door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you might suddenly appear!
People stop and stare, they don't bother me,
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the world go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here, on the street where you live.
