Quality control cat. So necessary. When I bring stuff home Pancake buries his nose in it and gives me his assessment. Emphasis on ass. That Indian dress is so beautiful on you.

I love honey-coloured stone like they have in the West country, it's so mellow and easy on the eye. I don't know if I've been to Cirencester though. It looks worth a trip out, that's for sure. Good idea, Jon! Yes, the history bit IS mind-blowing. We really are lucky to have so much of it all around us. Imagine if our whole built environment was only from the last 50 years. There would be no richness. That picture of you and Jon at the top cracks me up. So funny. He's definitely got something of my Grandad George about him. Mischief, delivered deadpan. Those leisure pants are fab, as is the 50s basket. Ooh, Marimekko! Get sewing!

Enough to make anyone go to church. <br />I was amazed by how lovely and welcoming everyone was, no snide remarks about our accents or being followed round the chazzas with suspicion.
