OVERARCHING

Lunch stop at Baldock Services on the way south. No McDonalds for me, though (she said virtuously). I patronised Greggs instead - well, everyone has to have a secret vice, and I'm not paying Starbucks prices for coffee!

Mother in much better fettle and beginning to grumble, which is a good sign.

Oh, I forgot this laptop doesn't let me do thumbnails, and it's so slow I think I'll turn comments off for the duration.
