We had a wonderful time at Carmel Mission. It seems so long ago now. I miss A and her family so much!

I had an enjoyable day with my mother in law. S and I took her to lunch and then we visited a garden centre where i managed to get a plant I'd been after and which Ruth had identified for me. Will enjoy planting that tomorrow. It was such a lovely sunny day today but with just a hint of autumn in the air.

P and I did some wedding planning last night - which was fun. I'm starting to feel excited about doing it rather than simply terrified.
