Since we have been back from the bbc we have both had trouble adjusting to normal life. For my part I have put many hours hard work into conditioning myself to once again accept a life consisting mostly of eating, drinking and sleeping and so far I am very pleased with what I have managed to achieve. Elaine, however, has kept herself busy by volunteering to redesign the school garden. The children will be lending a hand and I suspect I might be doing a bit of the hard landscaping.
