We are off to the UK today for a 2-week holiday, and we are both very excited. Cia has planned the trip so carefully, for which I am VERY grateful. We will be spending four days in London, visiting museums and literary sights and cathedrals and just generally enjoying this ancient, special city. On Friday, we will drive out to Somerset and the village of Selworthy, where we will spend six days at the HF Holiday house, walking with groups and by ourselves, and sometimes just relaxing in the lovely house and grounds.
Cia's gardens are as lovely as ever, though not as lush and loaded with blooms as earlier in the summer. Here is a photo of a beautiful late-bloomer . . .
