Many thanks for all your kind comments about David. This little corner of the blogging world is full of kind folk. This past year has taught us to live more and make sure that we get on with doing the things we have always spoken about trying. No week is the same and I have done the reverse to what most people do when they retire by stepping away from all the volunteering for which I needed to give a regular commitment. This week alone I've found some Roman sherds of pottery on another archaeological dig, got soaked to the skin whilst counting orchids in a local meadow and somehow found myself having a pint and watching my first ever cricket match which turned out to be a hilarious combination of the Horsham Lions versus the Lardy Army which is the name the supporters of our town's football team give themselves raising money for our nearest hospice. We were supposed to just be walking straight home after completing a dormouse and reptile survey. How do these things happen eh. Anyway it was a rather splendid diversion and not a bad way to spend an hour in some most welcome sunshine.
Every June I ponder whether I'll still be blogging in a year's time, but here we are thirteen years on and I'm still enjoying it so if you'll have me I've no plans to give up. We had rather a surprise this week to discover that we are due to go on holiday next week and not the week after as I had thought. Thankfully the cattery have been very accommodating about changing the dates for Humphrey. I will be back in a few days hopefully with fully recharged batteries and a tale or two to tell.
If you're wondering the photos are from Winchester's small toilet museum which appropriately enough is displayed in the window of the public conveniences in the city centre. I was particularly drawn to the medieval water pitcher with the face. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
