I can't say, hand-on-heart, that I have done that every day, but I have had lots of good days and done lots of good things. My aim over the summer was to meet as many friends as possible - and I have definitely done that! I've sat in gardens and living rooms and cafes. I've drunk teas and coffees and prosecco and lots of wine. I've eaten ice creams and cakes. I've talked and walked and talked some more. (And if you are wondering why we haven't met yet, please give me time!) I've also swum in the (UK) sea three times, once without a wet suit (!), seen Dartford warblers, a badger, a dipper and a water vole. I've had a surprise cream tea, been on a spa day,
