I'm on the train on the way home from Cornwall, where I had a weekend which definitely made up for the streak in the lead up to it. Friday morning onboard the train, I finally got together all of my blogs, so now (miracle of miracles) I'm ACTUALLY up to date… as of the end of this blog anyway! After a four hours of WONDERFUL first class service and peace and quiet (with the exception of the lady who brought her lap dog onto the train which proceeded to spill ...

I'm REALLY excited about seeing them, and as I head off with the boys to the Broadway market I'm so excited I'm practically wriggling out of my skin. Which is really annoying everyone. Hahaha.
