I'm a little bit heartbroken about the GPO phone, cos it was so pretty and perfect for me, but oh well... If I hadn't seen the other one, I would have thought this one was so pretty too! *g*

Seeing the fox was fab! I've seen them in the wild at a distance - including once being chased by a hunt - but this was such a surprise, and she was so beautiful! I knew I should have taken my big lens with me - next time!

I've not found a good bookshop yet - I thought I'd found the main MK Waterstones, but it turned out to be a sort of extra one (which I was very pleased to realise - I was quite worried about the lack of books!) There's lots of libraries, which is nice - one in market town, one in other town, one near kiddie's gym that we go to, and I've not even visited the central MK one yet! I'm still looking for a reading group - there's one via MeetUp that I keep meaning to join to see what it's like, but you have to join MeetUp first of course, and it's just an extra step that I haven't got around to yet. There's an archery club not far away, which I might give a go, and I've just found a fiddle teacher (though he's away for the next week, which is a shame when I've just started back again)...

The Dairy is getting there. I think my office solution will be quite helpful, and although I've had a break to do some gardening, I'm going to see how much more I can sort out around it this evening. The heating was fixed sort of - I still didn't find it was particularly efficient. On the bright side, I've turned off the heating now anyway, cos it's been warmer again, so cross fingers it can stay off now anyway until autumn!

It's sort of feeling like home - I started to arrange my books on the shelves this morning too, rather than just being in any-old-order, and that started to make it feel more like my place, too! Funny, isn't it, the things we want/need... *g*

I loved the pics you posted - glimpsed them last week, and didn't manage to comment. Started to comment several hours ago (like I started to reply here!) and haven't finished that yet either. I must go and do! *g* (But I did plant the plants that I bought last weekend, had dinner and watched an ep of Outlander, and tidied some things away!)
