The Longest Journey Begins With The First Step.........

After the birth of our beautiful granddaughter the rest of November was a bit of a blur. I know, thanks again to 'Boswell's' notes, that I fought with a large telecoms company, begged anti biotics from my dentist for a looming abscess, made two trips to Brighton to visit our firstborn, had dinner at a local restaurant with two very good friends, lost my exhaust pipe on the M23, met with the company accountant, and watched the starlings fighting over the last of the fermenting grapes on the vine at the back of the house. All this and more happened in November but mostly I remember the arrival of our sweet little grandchild.

My most memorable human contact this month was with our new arrival and my most important deed was to be around to say well done. My thoughts in November were on the cycle of life as plants in the garden were preparing to sleep and the new seed from the gene pool was starting to wake.
