Morning and Happy Monday to you all. Warm enough for those of you in the UK?

Well what a week. I spent most of it filming for something that I will tell you all about in September and then my in-laws came for the weekend; the first time they have been here since 2019. It felt so strange to see them inside and not huddling under an umbrella at the end…

Well I don’t know about you but I’m in need of soothing calm this week. I wonder if it’s the thought of lockdown ending? Or, if things go wrong  – not ending. You know when you are about to go on holiday and you suddenly feel exhausted or can’t sleep? It’s as if you have…
