Susannah!

Good to have you back, even if you never left. We hope to return to the UK: IF the GD pandemic ever ends. Or mutates into something unimaginable. It always brightens my day to read your thoughts.

Irie! Cal(lahan)

Thanks so much Pete! And yes, my sweet god daughter was so happy to graduate after 3 wild and disorienting pandemic years. (no grandkids yet!!)

In 1975 my sister and I travelled to Europe and London was part of our itinerary. It was the best! I was 20 and she was 18. We were too young to be afraid and had a glorious time!

"Too young to be afraid" what a perfect sentence. My kids when to Europe together earlier this summer and they were only slightly younger than my sister and I were when we went. It was great. xx
