Alas, the muffins were mine! I hope you forgive me someday.
In the meantime, here's to hoping for many more bad ideas and good stories.
Yours, Ainsley

Dear Percy,
I am a prize idiot and completely forgot to answer your last owl, which I've only just re-discovered now that I've gone through a few boxes while unpacking. In all the madness of packing up and moving, it inexcusably slipped from my mind. I hope you'll forgive the lateness of the reply, and also hope that you've been well and had a lovely Christmas.
