Worrying

that Mrs E confused this with a tall dark stranger. OK, it does look a bit different from inside, in the periphery of vision. 

Christmas cards, letters and emails are arriving - some have left us, to be handed through letter boxes by liveried employees of the Royal Mail; next, the email server will soon be stoked up and ready to transmit. 

One of the more unusual anecdotes tells of attempted murder by bottle of sekt on the streets of Cologne - what sheltered lives we lead in Malvern. Glad to hear that the victim survived to endure confusion on the streets of Looe.
