While Ais carried on her merry way to Ireland to attend a wedding in a stately home, chow down on multiple Irish sausages and seek out her favourite suntan lotion, I raced up and down the country saying hello to friends and family alike. Blessed with unusually mild weather I wiled away the days with family members in Lincoln before heading back to Horsham for a couple of nights at home with the rents.
It was then on to London to quickly soak up some British culture and see as many people as possible in my few remaining days. To:

| Me and me Nana. Not looking too bad for an 88-year-old grand dame. Sadly, I look as though I've been tangoed. |
Nick
Jane
Mary
Jenny
Nicola
Neil
Dave
Alicia
Thank you for the good times and making me feel like I've never left. The food was delicious, the wine certainly flowed and your company was delectable, as always. Until next time...

I was also dead chuffed to see several of my HG books that I sent to print before I left, on bookshelves in Waterstones with Horsham, of all places, boasting the largest volume of HG's list. I was particularly proud to see The Food of Vietnam standing out and A la Mere seems to be getting a great reaction, and was spotted in the front window of several bookshops. As much as I don't want this holiday to end, it made me excited to get back in the cookbook editorial saddle when I land back in Melbs. Speaking of which, we will see our antipodean crew in just over one month. Not long to go now!
