So much to do, so much to write, so much travel, so much thinking and planning and anticipating. It's spring, things are podding and everything is demanding, so I have been remiss and not posted for a week. A whole week! The financial year is drawing to a close and lambing hasn't even started yet.
I just wanted to share a thought on bumping into people you know when you are away from home. I was pootling about the Midlands this week and bumped into two people I had no reason to expect to see. One on a station platform, the other in an art gallery. OK, I lived in the region for twenty years but it's a HUGE region with MILLIONS of people, so why should I see anyone I know in a snappy 24 hour visit, apart from those I'd actually arranged to see?
And then on the train home I saw yet another friend and we chatted of this and that as the miles were chomped up and I felt as if the journey had been halved, having had company and conversation.

Sometimes coincidences are almost too coincidental - fate and all that! How good though – these chance encounters.
"The financial year is drawing to a close and lambing hasn't even started yet." Boring days and cold nights - you know how to bring the romance of farming down to earth with a bump... I trust there will the compensation of a good crop of lambs and easy to find figures.
My son met someone he knew from New Zealand on a spontaneous trip to the London Eye, how random is that?
Yes Paula, it was a real treat.
SS - romance is all around; it's Spring! But the accounts still need doing :(
AA - we once met friends from Warwickshire in a Devon hideaway...our dogs recognised each other first.
