Two Sisters

No.1 sister left today and should be approaching our Northern hometown as I write.  We - Col, Penny and I - went to Arundel this afternoon - bought some books and disappeared under a sea of hungry seagulls and such.  I had brought the left over rice from last night and some seeds - and wish I had taken more food with me.  The sisters treated us to a Thai takeaway last night - Jacks joined us.  Col produced champagne and Baileys - and we ended up with a selection of chocolates - from Carol O'the North and Jean O' the Hall.  Over in East Sussex - where there bee dragonnes - the snow apparently lies deep and thick and even.  Here is it grey and mild and wet.  And the Channel is calm.
