Blighty

Well we are now back in good ole Blighty.  We stepped off the P&O Aurora onto the hard ground of UK this morning and enjoyed a very warm welcome at my brothers home enroute to visiting one of our daughters.  It has been a great and much needed holiday!  The art classes were an added bonus.  the aforementioned daughter has already had two completed pieces off me: a pastel drawing of Pen-y-Fan and a watercolour of what I refer to as 'The Milan Shopping Centre'

It wasn't just about art, as I managed ten exercise sessions.  Which I suspect is more than most people do when they are away. I would have liked to have done more, but the sea-urchin spines stabbing took me out of the game, along with a calf muscle cramp that had me almost crying.  So it's a gentle swim for me and a sauna at the hotel in the next few minutes, plus a look forward to meeting distant (geographically) friends this weekend, and hopefully close friends when we return home.
