yeah - i have jet lag !

Jet lag is maybe the way to make the holiday last just that little bit longer. After supper this evening, both Michael and I were struggling to stay awake. I decided to get to work and send out my Wine Time email for the week and Michael attempted to start checking his credit card statement (poor bloke). We finally got into bed at 10.30 and fell fast asleep. Me for two hours and Michael...

still sleeps.

We had a great day yesterday. Gareth arrived in the morning with eggs, bacon, croissants and juice and made us a fancy breakfast. Lovely to have two out of my three around the table. After breakfast I made an attempt to start unpacking. 

The sun was out and my sister had invited us to lunch. So nice to know that we were missed...

Dalene and the girls had gone all out

Kathy I had not seen since 15 June, Lesley had been to Greece for two weeks and Dalene to Pringle Bay!!

Lovely food and wine in the sun (and the bonus of Nicholas James)

and then my Marmie joined us later as well

So it was a wonderful afternoon, we tumbled into bed and slept well. Today it was pretty difficult to get things started, but I eventually did. Now here I lie, wide awake!

I had some time in my garden this morning with my cup of tea. It has taken care of itself amazingly well.

Some new blossoms on the ginger bushes

Pansies, I did not know I had

even a Primula or two

first shoots on the Wisteria (hope hope hoping for flowers this spring)

and even one lonely lemon

Thanks everyone for all the welcome home messages on Facebookmand email. I am glad you enjoyed the blog. I have a couple more to come so it is not goodbye quite yet.

Right now I think some hot milk, honey and brandy is called for...
