The holiday that never was

As our friends Al and Linda will also be well aware, this weekend we'd have been arriving back home from our holiday in Armenia and Georgia.  Instead, Mary and I have enjoyed quiet time at home, (as we hope they have too) and have just to look forward wistfully to a trip replanned next year.  One advantage for us has been to enjoy the jasmine arch in our garden in full bloom.  Mary always said this helped sell her the house, though now I enjoy it less because my sense of smell has deserted me and she because going outside in these dry time with high pollen gives her sneezing fits.  But you can only be glad to see such a glorious display!

Another advantage has been the re-equipping of our home with dogs.  Elvire (red collar) and Edmond arrived here 3 weeks ago and have rapidly become part of our lives

For those who may not have seen these photos  3½ years ago here are the links to the photo albums I made then for our last trip to Armenia and Georgia
