STRESS LEVELS REACH...

... an all time high!! At least they did this morning as we tried to juggle two deliveries but we managed to get both to their destinations on time and in good order. We picked up Christina, went shopping and got home before midday. I sent the afternoon making scones, quiche and apple pies. Then, about an hour ago, Alice from Applebys rang up in a panic because everything ad sold and she had nothing to sell tomorrow. Well Alice, I DID tell you to stock the freezer and then this wouldn't be a problem. So, just while they find their feet, I've sent an emergency delivery down this afternoon. Charles was going through Morpeth to take Christina home, so it's not a problem, but I'll be making it clear that this is not to happen once they're established. I'm still reeling from the news last night about Hannah. In fact I had a terrible night's sleep and kept waking up thinking about her. However, I'm sure my bad night was nothing compared to hers. Helen and Bill will be arriving here later on, having stopped in Gosforth to see Han. After that I suppose the weekend will be dictated by Hannah's needs - and so it should be. Whatever else happens though, I've got to bake bakewells and scones again before Monday.
