It’s Monday and my week of birthday fun is over and I’m back at work.

It was a lovely week, full of good things and rest and although I’m not all that happy to be back to the commute and the early mornings, I’m glad to be back to a routine and a more settled existence.

This weekend, Ma and I went to Richmond and walked to Marble Hill House and did the tour, it was interesting especially as I’m gappy on the early Georgians (not that Georges I and II were very nice), I did learn that they re-used their tea leaves 7 times because tea was so expensive!

We had lunch in the park and a wonder around the gardens.

I spent Sunday with the flat, getting myself and it ready for the week at work and finishing the weekend papers.

Not hugely exciting but last week was just too much fun and I needed some quiet time!
