A little bit of England

After the seaside, the countryside. An afternoon with Lucy and family, summering from Bangkok at her parents' gorgeous house in the idyllic village of Walderton near Chichester. A gloriously sunny day, a classic English garden with a classic village church and pub round the corner, tea and Victoria sponge, Sunday papers, a labrador lolling about on the lawn, and probably a cricket match being played somewhere. Am I ready for a return to Beijing?!
