shewhomustIt is midsummer week, and we are back on Lindisfarne. There was the usual flurry of not-ready-ness, but in the end things worked out. We even made it to Midsummer Phantoms, which was early this year and so didn't fall while we are away. And although I didn't actually pack anything until today, I had done enough preparation that we were away at one o' clock, and reached the island before D. and valydiarosada, who had made detours for shopping and sightseeing.
Another year, another cottage: this year we are in Britannia Cottage (not the house on the green with 'Britannia' blazoned across it, but the rather more compact cottage at right angles to it). We are immediately across the road from the mead factory, which has already proved handy, when D. discovered there were only three wine glasses; he was able to buy another in the shop there. Now he is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and there is a constant running commentary of "lemon squeezer - lemon squeezer - isn't there a... parsley - oh, I forgot the parsley -shewhomust, did you bring any olive oil?"
Yes, I did. Also black pepper and a corkscrew. So far, I have discovered that I have forgotten the olive oil spread for my breakfast toast, and the motion sensitive nightlight. Of these, the latter is the worse omission, especially since the bathroom is downstairs. Oh, well, we will cope. Now I should probably go upstairs and unpack.
