Much to smile about

Subject: Special Saturday

Hiya Brett! Hope you got outside today – such spectacular weather!

How has your week been? We had a grand time last Saturday driving our friends from Rochester around Gloucester, Rockport and Essex. My tour guide skills were in prime form.

I took off Monday to catch up on chores at home, then spent the rest of the week catching up at work!

We went to a cat show this morning! So many cats! So much cat stuff on sale! So many people! Then off to Woburn for Chinese food. And to Mike’s Pastry for sweets. We did it up!

Now I am home relaxing and thinking of you. Mmm…. you give me so much to smile about! 

Take care!

What better way to mark the arrival of her latest great-grandson yesterday than for the Queen to ride on horseback on the grounds of Windsor Castle? It was only two days after she turned 92, and she was in great form, as ever, riding her Fell pony, accompanied by her head groom, Terry Pendry.
