April
OB and I had a short holiday in Dorset. We stayed in a wooden cabin surrounded by woods. Walked, read, ate and slept. Just what we needed.
On Golden Cap
May
The year blossomed, in our garden and others too. We visited old haunts, met old neighbours.
Open garden in Harry Stoke
June
Had another little holiday, at one of our favourite places, in West Wales. The weather was variable. We watched a lot of Wimbledon which – fortunately – we love.
Visiting the pigs in the rain
I also had some lovely walks closer to home over this period. In writing news, I got onto the Long Longlist of the Cheshire Prize, which was very good news, and meant that my work would – later in the year – be included in an agent showcase. Very exciting!
Parts 3 and 4 follow next week.
