his and her rain gear

great news pete!!!! congratulations!

...and it was lovely to see you, hugh and margaret, if too briefly. I think your house looks fantastic. I love the view of the church spire from the back.

we had a wonderful holiday in Skye -here we are in the blessed rain - and Julian is rested in a way i haven't seen him in a long time. Here's a toast to holidays and a very well deserved one for this particular hoodie. Also, as you probably all know, Julian is a marvelous boyscout. He took me up mountains, helped me across streams, picked mussels and cooked them on the camp fire and we had fresh espresso with hot milk and midges every day...we are planning more camping holidays in the future in our new blue tent. It beats touring in mediocre hotels is all I can say!
