Esperaza lingers

I'm back in place, slightly dizzy with it all - England was hard despite some wonderfulness's - and now I find, quelle horreur, that our own Tibetan takeaway has closed down. What are we supposed to eat?? Gutted -

The very very good news is the our Gracie is here, staying a little while. Joy joy joy unconfined :)

Here's the square this morning, temperature veering towards cold - though the sun ain't properly up yet.

Frightfully fin de siècle.

And the river. Clearly its not rained here for a while. 

There is precious little going on, which is something of a relief to me after three weeks of galloping  activity.
