After a very lazy morning and a somewhat busier afternoon, I met up with two friends who have been married for 42 years and still hold hands. They've had a lot thrown at them lately and it doesn't seem to faze them a bit.

Later on I went for dinner with these two irrepressible people, Miriam and Michel. I stayed a night at their home in Chelsea last Sunday and today got a bit more of a chance to have a proper catch up. They're coming to Scotland in the autumn and I'm sure they'll have a great trip.

Such good company!
