As a uni lecturer in electronic engineering who did a MSc in Maths for fun, you can imagine how much husband loved getting this Fathers’ Day card 🥰🥰

Took my infected leg out with the husband for a lovely meal at @the_pig_hotels in Bridge. Wish I’d taken more photos as it was such a beautiful building with lovely views from the bar over the garden. I was too greedy though and just kept my eyes on the menu. I highly recommend the Sour Conker which had gin and sake and some other things which made it absolutely delicious.

I can’t believe this! Six months after having to rush to A&E with an infected horse fly bite (you can read about that little escapade on my blog) last night I got bitten AGAIN! It’s already infected and swollen so I had to get onto emergency doc for Antibiotics. Bloody horse flies!!

Thanks to @elkastormborn for these absolutely fantastic reviews of #thewomanandthewitch and #frieda

Beautiful tables and lots of Pimms - teenagers not so keen 👶 😢 #tantrum #headontable #whencanigohome #teenagers

Off to the village street party! 💃 👸 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
