I try not to bemoan my lot. Really I consider myself a very fortunate person. However today has been a struggle. Our house was burgled yesterday evening. Quite a bad one though it was only material stuff which they tell me you should be able to get over. Sophie has always hated her engagement ring which has gone so that’s good, but the discomfort of knowing that someone had just wandered through our bedroom window is truly troubling. Plus I have yet to tell Lottie that the “gold neckerlas” that Ben Gapper gave her last Christmas has also gone and this will be devastating news for a 6 year old girl concerning a present from her one true love. I was, therefore, not feeling very accommodating or warm towards my fellow human beings today and thus it was unfortunate and slightly bizarre that a lady singled me out on platform 1 of a cold and miserable Kings Cross to comment on the fact that I was only wearing a jersey (?), to tell me that she wanted to move to Newmarket and that I should make sure I went to the forthcoming Arts and Crafts Fair.... You what????
