Wedding anniversary

(backposting) Today's our 11th wedding anniversary, and so after heading home from Kate and Mac's, we went to the White Hart for lunch. I then took Jo to the church fete for half an hour or so and bought random bits and pieces (including two cakes) while Moo did some packing. Once we got back, we finished off the packing, and then headed off to Letheringham, where we've rented a cottage from Rural Retreats for a week. We've used them quite a lot over the years (in fact, we had our honeymoon in a Rural Retreats cottage in the Cotswolds) and they tend to be pretty good. This isn't one of the best: the garden's not fenced in, and as we're close to a working farm and there are only-just-covered-pits, etc. nearby, we can't let Jo free-roam. The cutlery's not the best, and the towels are a bit small - it's things like that which the really good Rural Retreat properties get just right - but it'll certainly do us. It's the first time we've tried one with Jo, and our first non-Dent holiday since she came along.

Jo had rather a difficult day, with bits and pieces of sleep, so by the time it was time to put her down, she was very difficult to settle: maybe 45 minutes or more. But I managed it, I'm proud to say, and so she went down in the end.
