Ah, there we are! Rather belated in a proper greeting here since I've been back, but that's alright. Seen loads of you already, haven't I! Good party. Amazing how well Americans carry on celebrating some two hundred years after a terrible waste of tea.
Still have gifts I've not given out yet. So sorry, Helena. Couldn't lose your mother in customs as predicted. Hope the tea will suffice!
That said, I've saved the best news for last. Something very old, now new, and very blue, specifically. She's here and disappointingly barren, but oh. Just to see the outside of her again nearly had me making a few public calls myself in excitement. Have a look for yourself! Looks brilliant in the flat!
