A spot of recovery was required after last weekend. In fact, a week long spot of recovery, after the wedding, the Christening and the rain-drenched drive to London last Saturday evening.
Daisy asks "why, oh why do people believe they may continue to drive as fast as they do on rain sodden roads, as presumably they do on dry roads? Don't they think it just plain silly to drive in horrendous conditions, when the rain and window-spray renders it impossible to clearly see vehicles in front of them, let alone madly overtake other cars going at more reasonable speeds?"
And it continued to rain on and off, and mostly on, at the very worst moments for our activities, over the entire weekend.
"It was smashing when the sun shone and the rain stopped, and we could be outside, for the photographs of the bridal party and her retinue; and for the guests emerging from the church after the Christening!" remembers Daisy.
During our week of recovery, we've celebrated a birthday at a favourite country pub, dined out again the next evening because we'd had a busy day and nobody felt like cooking supper, and yesterday spent the day at splendid museum.
"After lunch of course, and followed later, by tea at a favourite bookshop, phew!" said Daisy "and, of course, we don't always enjoy such a social whirl; but it's fun occasionally!!!"
"And now it's the weekend again, what fun???
Byeeeee
Daisy
