And where are the nestlings?
It all seems very quiet at home. Tui is still island-hopping in the Aegean: the last phone call yesterday was from Santorini. "Paint me a cavernous waste shore | Cast in the unstilled Cyclades" - how I wish I could see them!
Meanwhile Sun has flown to the US to stay with her friend Erin, near Boston. She e-mails:
I don't know what we've done to deserve a daughter who seems to think the proper prayer for July 4th is a prayer for the return of the Colonies (I'm sure there must have been one, in the 1776 Book of Common Prayer - for myself, I'm one of those who thinks they had the Revolution we should have had.) But then, look at them now...
One of these days, I hope to see both the Greek Islands and Boston (home of Ally McBeal).

Having a whale of a time. The fourth of July was perhaps the strangest thing I've ever experienced. Funny little americans. Hope you're all well x
