We’ve enjoyed a series of lovely days here, filled with sunshine, good company, conversations around tables and visits to interesting places that left us thinking. There’s been no time to record it all here, though a few of the numerous pictures in my camera will appear here shortly.

For now, though, here’s some clues. Where have we been? Three days out, four photographs.

Right now, my bag is packed by the door ready to go. Tomorrow is the Royal Cheshire Show and I am sure I will have some beautiful things to judge there. I’m especially looking forward to seeing old friends and colleagues, to catching up with people I don’t see very often and to the usual wealth of inspiration that comes from such a show.

In a few days, I might just get to share all the fun here (and add a few more details about those three places above, too)
