early posting

we're off down south to SEE THE FAAAMMLEE -must be said in gruff, deep, east-end accent with the word 'family' pronounced as two equally drawn out syllables - my North American friends: you are not excused from this exercise in linguistics - please try very hard.

and this is my hungry caterpillar - he wriggled off to school this morning, very happy, as happy as a caterpillar in a cabbage patch, in fact.

Back in a few days. Happy, safe and love filled weekending each and all.
