Bala

So I went off to Bala this week (I keep wanting to say "we" - I did miss my beautiful girl - especially when we went over ladder stiles).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it in Bala. We arrived to no heat or warm water which only adds to the rustic appeal in my book. We had the most fantazi week - hiking, cycling, swimming, drinking, cooking, eating, cross-wording, pub-ing, bloke-uss-ing and generally putting the world to rights.

The highlights =====>

The discovery of Tiny's unexpected fortune (absolutely BRILLIANT)

Miss Kate - totally and utterly delightful.
Me and her have progressed from being Friends (she tolerated me in Courcheval), to Good Friends (she "got me" and I "got her" in Plymouth) to Special Friends (this week she “licked me” and “ate me” and “got me” and I “got her” back, I offered to make her a crown and she said “no” but I made it anyway and she loved it, she ate my strawberries, blew me bedtime kisses, called me “Dr Emma” over and over again AND she accompanied me outside in the pub garden so we could count trees together................she rocks
