Hello! I was so glad to see you two posting again :) How are you all? Ada and Cat both seem to know how to make the most of life ;)
We are all very well. Â It feels as though summer is properly coming at last.
Watson has started an art class for children her age in Seaford. Â She goes three mornings a week, and the wall over our sofa, which we reserve for her art, is growing very full indeed.
John has opened the surgery.  It is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 - 16:00.  He has been very tired on the evenings after he’s had to work, but they don’t have many patients yet, nothing like the London surgery, so he says it has been a good way to ease back into running a practice.  He has also started taking many of our old case notes, and his blog entries, and working at setting it all down in book format.  He seems to be enjoying the process a great deal.
The bees seem to be doing very well. Â I spend any free time I have in the evenings tending to the hives, I will still wait until next year to harvest any honey, but they seem healthy and productive.
So yes, we keep very busy, and are all very content. Â
Mrs. Hudson contacted us last week, and asked us if we would mind if she let 221b to to Connie and India.  They have been living in the basement flat all this time, and John and I are rarely there anymore, and likely will not be permanently returning to London.  I must admit, I felt more than a twinge of sentiment at the thought of letting it go, but it probably is for the best, and we feel great peace of mind with Connie and India there with Mrs. Hudson.  We told her that she could go ahead and let them have it.  Both John and I have been ridiculously emotional about it this week, but I’m sure it will pass.
Mrs. Hudson will come to us in early July for a two week visit. Â Watson is already very excited about it, and has been drawing her a great many pieces, and has also been taking her favourite plush toys and leaving them on the bed in the guest room for Mrs. Hudson to have when she gets here. Â I do believe that Watson sees Mrs. Hudson as more of a grandmother than she does my actual mother who Watson has only met a small handful of times.
So, that is all the news here. Â I do hope that you are well, as well.
