I have just arrived back from London where I have been with my gorgeous Florence. Babysat yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours while her mother nipped into her office at the University (she only rang once to see if all was well!) and it was quite wonderful to be there, just her and me looking at each other and having a conversation. I hasten to add, in case you think we have a genius here, that I was doing the talking but she was gazing at me and focusing and we had a lovely time. Helen asked if I would mind coming up regularly so she can go into Uni for a couple of hours each week and it would really help if I could manage it. Well, could I manage it ....does I lust after Alan Rickman? You all know the answer.
Stayed overnight and this morning had the pleasure of meeting with Simon from Savidge Reads and we had a cup or two of coffee and yakked and gossiped and it was lovely to meet him and put a face to the name.
Then drive home this afternoon, nipped up the M11 via Stansted this time, I am trying out different routes, and got home in just over an hour which I thought was pretty good going.
So I am now back and methinks a nice warm bath awaits me, a dressing gown on the radiator and a Mills & Boon to take into the bathroom with me. Bliss.
Au reservoir.
