Ah, what a beautiful excuse for a holiday! I am going to implement that one here!

we are off to the West Country for a relaxing weekend away

Prosaic! Idyllic! All these American holidays, including the impending Mother's Day, seem to be shopping-centered.

Have a great weekend, Slowly. You are doing fine and in such a wonderful place. Count your blessings!

Your friend,
