Despite my best intentions it's been nearly two weeks since I last posted It's been a fortnight where I'm sure I blinked and missed it, mostly as once again everything has gone crazy at work. I went into work the other week to discover that starting that day my boss had been seconded to another section of the business, so our deputy has been left in charge for 3 months . The result was I was given a lot more hours and there's been loads to do, as my boss was one of those who did everything so he's been a big miss. On top of that I seem to have had one of those weeks were nothing has gone right, you know the ones, where you park next to a pothole when it's raining stand in it getting out of the car, and then stand in it again before you get back in the car But on a bright note I did get my lovely postcard of isabelle

Lovely view of what I assume is a typical English village.

I think it's typical of the old historical ones, there's also less pretty exmining ones.
