smallhobbitAnd we were in Florence - hooray!
But firstly, thank you to all of you who sent me birthday wishes:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
debriswoman, hardboiledbaby, godsdaisiechain, daria234, solosundance, murphybabe, talkingtothesky, classics_lover, and laurose8 . I hope I have sent you all individual thanks, but the wifi went down for a while and someone may have slipped through the net.
Thank you too tosnailbones for her birthday post, and to draycevixen for hers, which included a rather lovely picture of a certain Mr Armitage, which is now the wallpaper on my phone.
I received some gloves from my daughter-in-law:
An e-card frommargaret_r and an actual card from vix_spes which was waiting for me on our return home. I also received a card from moth2fic in the form of a ficlet: Oliver Owl's pumpkin post
In addition I was given three adorable stories, all of which appealled to me immensely:
okapi1895 wrote a hilarious tale in which Inky directs the rest of the gang in a play to entertain a poorly Holmes: From the Pen of Inky Quill: October
scfrankles wrote a sweet 221B in which Mrs Hudson saw a play: I'm Ready For My Close-Up, Mrs Hudson
andvix_spes wrote a Spooks fic featuring Lucas North which was perfect: Of Birthdays and Cake
And yes, we were in Florence, and there will be further details to come, but, as a taster, here's the view from the rooftop terrace of our hotel:
