Only a short one tonight as I’m dead tired. I was up early to Skype with my sister, and then caught the train up to London. The day seemed to be full of delays, and after spending forty minutes waiting for our train to leave Ashford station, I was a little pressed for time. I left some things (music, my big coat, my alto flute…) with a friend in London before heading to meet Mum off her plane at Heathrow. It was perhaps lucky that her flight was a little delayed as well! 

Anyway, after nine months it was lovely to see Mum, and to chat with her about all that has gone on here. She is staying in Wye for the next few days, and I’ll be off to join her at every opportunity. Then once the course is over we’re off for a well-earned holiday in France!
