Off to Europe

It has been a while since I last contributed to this blog, and now I find my entries will belie its title. We are off for a tour of London, Brussels, Bruges, and Amsterdam tomorrow and will no doubt see a few interesting things to write about. Getting ready for one of these expeditions is always taxing. We have so many details to cover, and we are lucky that Benjamin will be able to live in our house until we return. Willie, the little white dog, will be glad for the company, and I will be able to relax knowing that Toad Hall is in good hands.
