And a few days at Ancien Resto
... over to spend the afternoon with Tiz and to get her advice on a big mail-out I was doing for Ancien Resto.
I thought I'd have a quiet Monday before returning to London on Tuesday, but at 10.00 there was a knock on the door and it was the man coming to deliver my load of firewood. I didn't remember ordering it, but then the mayor turned up and said he'd seen my car and realised I was in residence and had told the man to deliver..... ...
