Regular readers, please forgive me and new readers don't be put off by this very short blog today. It is the Mem's birthday so not only have I no time to waffle, as breakfast in bed and all the other accoutrements are calling, but as far as Nole, the Count and I are concerned, only one thing important has ever happened on 17th May and that is that she was born. So there we are; no other news, no snippets of history, just Happy Birthday to our very favourite person, with love.
