Cut grass, kindness and cat naps

Today has been bright and sunny, and I cut the grass for the first time this year. It is really nice to be able to potter about in the garden again.

I am so lucky with friends and family who have been in touch; it feels as if it is my birthday
I have been getting so much attention! With so many phone calls, flowers, cards, advice and emails I will soon need a secretary! Thank you all.

Joan sent me this picture of Baxter who is soaking up heat on the mantelpiece above the fire; I have adopted him as my guru and will try to be this relaxed.
