many happy reunions!

Although we were delighted to meet up with many old friends at my significant birthday party recently, there were some who couldn't make it for various reasons.  One such couple was Alan, a friend going back to my student days, and his wife Jane.  We finally caught up with each other yesterday over a coffee at the Ashmolean and discovered a mutual interest in photography, amongst other things, so there just has to be a photo on today's blog!  

The downside of having so many people at one celebration is that there isn't much opportunity to talk to each one individually.  However, we will be remedying that in the coming week when we're out and about again, making the most of this opportunity to do things while Steve is till feeling good.  


Steve's next assessment in early September is beginning to loom larger in our minds, and all plans beyond that date are subject to the proviso that all is well when he sees the doctor. Nevertheless, we are still looking ahead and trying to be positive.  Come back in a week or so to find out what we've been up to!
