I love a Christmas display, but there’s only so much N can take. Especially when it involves stately homes. I had persuaded him to do the outdoor Christmas light trail at Blenheim Palace, with our tickets deferred to this year…
It’s been a long time since we’ve been on a day out. A year in fact. We’ve got nothing booked up for summer apart from tennis. A lot of tennis. Camps, private lessons and tournaments. So it’ll be grabbing some…
