Thank you, dear readers for your kind messages. It’s been a tough couple of weeks but I’m still standing. Plans A and B have now metamorphosed into Plan C, starting Monday:  dog-walking in Wiltshire, followed by a few days grannying, and then rounding off in London with a spot of Metropolitan cat-sitting, all lubricated with a glass or two. I may even get some work done.

Thanks also to those of you who left great reviews on Amazon for The Early Birds. I very much appreciate it.

So now all that remains is for me to haul down a suitcase and figure out what my better dressed friends refer to as  ‘a capsule wardrobe’. You know, the kind of outfits that will see you through from that early morning board meeting to the power party at the Groucho? Or, in this instance, from muddy bridle paths through to cut-throat games of Monster Jam Crush It.

Maybe wellies and a onesie.

Wotcha think?

Back soon. Well, late June, actually.
