Bank Holidays . . .

Today had all the ingredients for a very enjoyable Bank Holiday . . . Does anyone else find it hard not to say 'Bank Holiday Monday'? I've been confused all week as to what day of the week it is. Because of Christmas and New Year falling they way they have done this year, I've actually ended up working alternate days which is very disorientating.

The day started in the best possible way with a little lie-in as Mass was not until midday today - a real luxury. The Pater Familias had dropped Number One Son at the station to catch the train to Victoria and then on to St James', Spanish Place for the LMS Mass so we were on our own most of the day.

After a lovely Mass in the parish which was very well attended we went for a walk across The Downs stopping for coffee and cakes before making the return trip home.

A very relaxed late afternoon; a spot of ironing so now the basket is empty for a while (hooray!) and time for a spot of blogging before settling down in front of the TV for Agatha Christie - an ideal way to wind down after a lovely day.

The photo above shows how how cold it was - the greens on the golf course we passed were still frozen.
