The thank you cards and letters keep coming from guests who want to thank us for a great day/evening. Seems like the wrong way round – we should be thanking all our guests for being there and for the many and varied presents – which we will do as soon as we can get our Thank You cards. The stationer who hand made all our stationary is ill and may not be able to attend to them for some time. We are also trying to track all the people who contributed to our Paris trip as the travel agents did not record all the names.

The adrenaline is beginning to wear off and my body is craving sleep, cake and champagne.
