Another dreary, wet day in Northumberland, but at least it was quite still. Decidedly chilly by the time we walked on the Common with Louie late in the afternoon - MrM mentioned turning on the heating, but we haven't. Yet!

More annual leave today to prepare for the weekend but, in reality achieved very little. Never mind! Good to see Cheryl (and Dolly) when she came for a fiddle lesson this afternoon. She brought eggs - always welcome - and stayed for a coffee and a chat.

Trying to find some enthusiasm for this coming weekend's festival. It will be fine when we get there but, just now, the prospect of spending two days in a cold, damp marquee doesn't seem very appealing! Right, better get on and start some packing...
