Words are chameleon and summer verses can change into winter curses if uttered or written coldly without sincerity. The warmth and vitality of the sincere heart swiftly eviscerating into seemingly empty posturing by a misplaced verb read with eagerness. So I will choose what words to speak carefully for time is passing and it means much to let you know your future shall be as delicate and exquisite as the last rose that blooms in the autumn. All that shall see it shall be renewed for the days ahead and carry the hope that there is still love in the world to carry us through to spring.

On a lighter note we are going to Devon at the end of Sept with the girls from Stevenage that Nick used to work with. It’s our third holiday together and we always have a great time. Last year we baked bread in the Aga and got beaten by the girls at snooker. This year the manor house is high on a hill and has a starlight Jacuzzi situated at the top of a crennellatedtower…we cant wait for that. In Hungary it is possible in winter to take a hot thermal bath outdoors while the snowflakes fall around you so I think given this is the UK it will most likely be a bath in the rain with a cloudy sky and howling wind. But no matter, we’ll still have a great laugh.
