This is why I like January.
People you haven’t heard from in agesĀ get in touch and you can make a plan to meet, because you have a year’s worth of free diary space and months to save up!!
Today, we aim to book a Stay on a Farm – a top-notch b & b experience, in Oxfordshire, where we canĀ meet our old friends Liz & Levi , spend a fantastic weekend with them and see their lovely twin girls. I’ve spent part of my break searching out idyllic farmhouse bed and breakfast establishments in the deepest countryside, and we’re going to book something today.
My Gardeners World calendar, hanging from the peghooks in the kitchen, is starting to look populated. Yay!!



Save me a polka at the end of Jan, m’dear!
My dear Miss Henderson, would you also do me the honour of reserving the Allemande?
Mucho looking forward to our weekend, lead me forth unto the streets, shops and bistrots of Norwich!
I think I need to start saving some money to bring my family to Britain for a holiday . I’ve always wanted to go … I love everything British. I love the way it’s all described in Shopaholic books, Georgia Nicolsen books, and Mates, Dates and Inflatable Bras books.
I would love to stay in a lovely farmhouse B&B. If I can’t save up enough to go over there, maybe I need to start searching here.

Laverne, I was looking longingly on the internet at lakefront cottages to rent in Maine and New Hampshire the other day… the only thing about Britain is that it’s horribly expensive, but the historic days out and things to see are fantastic and quite often free. And it’s so tiny you can get anywhere in eight hours by car. Get ye across the pond!!
