During the family visit to the UK in the summer, H needed to do some work on his rally-car which he stores in a friend's barn in the Cotswolds whilst we're living away in Cyprus.  Personally I think it was just an excuse to stroke it and give it a cuddle ;)  As long at it makes him happy, that's fine with me ... plus it gave me time to sit in a beautiful English country garden with my sketch book.

Driving through the green countryside with it's mellow stone buildings that day, made me realise more than ever just how much I miss England.  I'm praying that circumstances will allow us to return soon.
