Thank you to Mr & Mrs B, who were generous enough to invite The Farmer & Yours Truly to share their uber-luxury holiday house for a few days. We ate too much, drank too much, talked much and saw much. Joy. I brought home more waistline than I took away..... We explored the beautiful and still happily 'free from tacky resort developments' Robin Hoods Bay, and we need to go back there. Soon.
Thought you might be amused to see how 'the other half' lives. In luxury that's how! He is absolutely certain that one of the girls is coming into season. He has spent this evening cuddling up to her, and barking at her, quietly. I think this is his way of nagging her into submission. Fingers crossed.
I hope to visit Helen Chadwick's London exhibition on Thursday, give blood and dine out with the ladies on Friday, and squeeze in a horse event on Sunday. Monday will bring a garden party celebration of the Baby Boy's History degree result, and his 21st birthday. I feel exhausted just thinking about it all! We have received confirmation of our tickets for his degree award ceremony, and are looking forward to seeing him receive his certificate. He is now working at Bell's Chartered Surveyors and Land Agents for a few weeks to gain some valuable practical experience before he starts at the Royal Agricultural College for a Masters degree.
The Big Boy has confirmed his safe arrival in China. I don't think I shall rest properly until he is safely back on these shores in good health and one piece! He returns in two weeks, on a Monday. We shall see him and deliver a few bits of his stuff to him on the Tuesday, and then he starts work at Fisher German (Ashby de la Zouche) on the Wednesday. He will know the meaning of the word 'tired' too! He will work for 15 months before returning to Harper Adams for his final year of study within the University.
Its all go. I wouldn't change it!
Tata for now X

Sounded a wonderful break. Congrats on boys work placements. Farmer needs to take his wellies when he goes to the seaside (or not wear his best shoes). :-)
