December hasn't got enough days in it! Alston was really lovely, and now there are a few workshoppy type things to do and lots of eating nice food with even nicer people. But yesterday, at short notice, we had a trip to London and back to celebrate a life lived well with a wonderful group of friends. We took the chance to see Martha and Matt for a brief two hours on the way back. What a treat - here they are waving on the platform at Kings Cross as we sat on the train back to Newcastle - cold, dark night. Warm glowy feeling inside.
