Good morning everyone, many thanks for your birthday wishes. I have just come back from a week in the Cotwolds and we have had a superb holiday, in a little barn conversion half a mile off the road and in the middle of rolling countryside. I had a brilliant birthday. The farmers were harvesting and they had cleared the fields around the cottage so we watched the hares, deer and other wildlife to our hearts content. No other houses near by so no people

and the weather couldn't have been better, no rain for a week.
Sorry not to have said thank you any sooner but I had no internet coverage

I have a phone but don't go on the internet with it. (too complicated for me

)
