it was just lovely to see you at that slightly constrained evening, and really good to meet Richard. I hope it wasnât an ordeal for him meeting such a gang of distant relatives all sitting round in a circle, and bless you both for coming.
Itâs a fact that you can be extremely fond of different people but having them all together at once you donât do justice to anyone – like a meal of chocolates and shrimps and olives and smoked eel and eclairs all at once.
Your blogs are a delight. So much more nuanced than many Iâve seen.
Have a wonderful trip, in case I donât communicate before you set out; Iâll be thinking of you, and hoping to see picturessss?
