And then of course we moved, which accounts for the lack of blogging in recent weeks. These are a few pic of our surroundings - we have silly amounts of space, but most importantly we have a garden! Such a delight. We will miss the elegance of our Hurworth home (although the miles and miles of Georgian staircases were beginning to tire) but are so glad for the peace and tranquility of our hilltop perch. We have sheep and hens strolling past the breakfast room, a convenient rent-a-labrador, Biscuit, who is glad to accompany us on walks around the farm; we have cows quietly grazing over the drive, and general rural idyll really. Not forgetting the 5000 pigs and lots of rather exciting farm machinery.
