Back from the UK

We are just back from about 10 days in the UK - we went back for a friend's wedding which was excellent - she is a singer so all her singer mates were the choir and they did a tap dance as their first dance. Fab. While in the UK I also LOVED the shopping - Reading seemed like Milan after Pamiers - had a decent pedicure (don't know why but they just don't seem to do them as well here) and generally enjoyed being able to communicate easily. Missed the sun though - it was gorgeous when we left - as it is now.

But while we were away there was a storm - a tree fell and took out the phone line. The power tripped, so the freezer went off and I had to throw away all my fantastic Picard food. And some of Alex's new roof blew off so the floor was covered in water. But all things considered, the damage wasn't too bad and the phone is already fixed.

We have more friends staying now and last night sat out watching a storm miles away over the Pyrenees. Fabulous.
