Friends of mine took over Wingrove House for her 60th birthday on New Year’s Eve just gone. Had a brilliant time. As Sir Rowley Birkin QC would have said “Very, very drunk”

I went for a stroll along a brook in North London, took a small detour from the path and to Hendon Cemetery where my parents are buried. After paying my respects I wandered round the cemetery for a while, and came across this grave.
My plan had been to wander on to Kenwood House and have a brunch in the cafe, but hadn’t allowed for the crowds on a lovely sunny Bank Holiday Saturday. So strolled back across the Heath to Golders Green and ate there.

Oh did not know she had died. I many years ago bumped into her and her then boyfriend James Coburn at Starlight Express, in London.
My father in law and myself cut down two large fir trees yesterday, cut them into 2,5m pieces today and drove them over the field to the farm now. Hot in 25degrees. Im learning the tractor. It is from around 2000, so it is not the most modern, but still a lot of controls. Pretty interesting work.

It was news to me as well, Wiki tells me she died in 2014 at just 66.

Surprisingly quiet at Kingston Lacy house today - the weather forecast has put lots of people off. Some nice cloud formations though - and atmospheric Philae Obelisk (with recent nicely done conservation work).

I have a thirty year old Ercol two seater settee , and it is on the second set of covers (which is twenty years old)
The covers are showing their age and it is time for them to be replaced. Went to our local Ercol dealer , quoted £1850 for covers and base . A smaller lighter Ercol “smuggler” costs less and a leather one very slightly more .
The problem is the carcass is as good as new - and they will take it away for £50
Some big issues, if anybody has Sarah Moore’s telephone number …
Stayed in the hotel that used to be the Fiat works in Turin.
