I had a very long phone call with my long time friend Annette as it was her birthday last week and she thanked me for her present. Sadly her brother in law died on her birthday. It was so nice talking to her, we have known each other for 50 years!  She was my best friend when I lived in Yorkshire , we always just pick up where we left off.

Later we packed and headed off to a woodland retreat, near Farnham. The traffic was horrendous getting there and it took us far longer than we thought. BUT it was well worth the stress. We had a log cabin at the retreat and it was just so peaceful and really lovely.

If you walk to the edge of the retreat, there is a lovely wood, well quite honestly we are surrounded by woods.

If you walked over a little bridge you were in the pub garden. We went there to have dinner…dog friendly! We were quite happy to sit outside with Ellie but they took us into the restaurant. Ellie just lies under the table anyway!
