Somerville Sunday

This is a beautiful view on a not so beautiful day, from the terrace of the lovely Somerville hotel which sits on a hill overlooking pretty St Aubin.

I was there for a special celebration as one of 'the girls' has a significant birthday. We had Sunday lunch and a magnum of wine (between 6 of us). It was heartwarming to see how happy the birthday girl was, sat amid a confusion of balloons, showered with gifts and just generally feeling the love.

Stopped off to see daughter J on the way home. 

I didn't go to the local remembrance service but I watched the London one on TV this morning. Never ever forget. Although it feels at the moment as if some lessons are being un-learned.
