The week that was

It has been a busy, interesting week, starting with a visit to London and catching up with friends at the Wallace Collection. After lunch, we had a good look at the armour and weapons - this is what female SF/F writers do with their days out. I spent the rest of the afternoon in the Sherlock Holmes museum in Baker Street (where else?) as this is also one of London's minor gems. If this indeed supposed to be an accurate representation of Holmes and Watson's rooms, I must say that it is hard to see how Sherlock had enough range to blast the Queen's initials into the wall. Fascinating, if cramped.

The week has ended very differently, with a workshop in Dominican Vodou at our venue in Glastonbury, run by Houngan Hector Salva, who is over from the States. I have not attended the workshop, but did go to the service last night, which Hector very kindly allowed me to attend. Very interesting, and also fun (the neighbours came round at one point to see what was making the building shake, but they were very nice about it).

Otherwise, the week has been taken up with work, of various kinds. There are a couple of quite major announcements on the way but these must remain under my hat until I'm allowed to talk about them. Minor things include making jelly (sloe/apple) and quite a lot of cooking. I love autumnn - all the different produce and of course, all the things that everyone likes about the season (log fires, cold nights, clear days, golden leaves).
