Good news when I visited the doctor's this morning - Dr Wrench completed the London Marathon in 3 hours and 9 minutes, which is pretty impressive.
I met Marina earlier in the morning. She spent yesterday in Bristol, visiting a 17thC house that belongs to the University there, and is opened to the public once a year. What she and Cassie, her daughter, really wanted to see was the shell grotto in the grounds, which took 27 years to build, with shiploads of shells from the West Indies, statues of river gods, and all sorts of other embellishments. Cassie is building a shell grotto for a big house locally, but hers is on a rather smaller scale.
Mandy and family spent the weekend in the Lake District, and Alfie had a wonderful time lolloping around the fells and swimming in the lakes.
The two ladies from Open Door are off to Russia in a couple of months, on a holiday with a Christian group. They start off at St Petersburg, with all the wonderful museums, and then travel by river boat up to Moscow.
And Ben and Suzy are just back from Egypt - a last minute decision while Suzy's daughter Amber was away at some sort of camp. I saw Ben in Spar, just long enough to say "You don't look very tanned!"
"Oh! I'll go back then!" he replied - but he did look as if he'd enjoyed the holiday.
