Hi, Baukjen here. Geoff and I spent the weekend at Babington House a favourite hotel of ours where we married 4 years ago. It was the first time in months that we were kids free, we enjoyed it but I missed Pippa immensely.

At Babington House we spent hours reading newspapers, watching dvd's in bed in the middle of the afternoon, having a snooze after lunch with wine... all the things we dont get a chance to do in daily life.

We had some laughs too. On the first day a woman walked in to the bar who I immediately recognised but couldnt place. I said hello, enquired how she was etc etc.. all the while racking my brains where I knew her from. Finally I asked her only to be suprised that she didnt have a clue. Bewildered I asked her what she did for a living as maybe then I would remember where I had met her. She said she was an actress. Oh. From the telly (great show by the way). Poor woman was being polite but didnt know me at all.

The next day a man walked in to the hotel whom I immediately recognised but couldnt place. I avoided eye contact while I gave myself a chance to remember whose friend he was. After a minute I turned to Geoff who said he also recognised him but didnt know where from. Keen to make sure we didnt repeat the incident of the day before, Geoff asked Steffi the manager. Thank god we did as he is a famous chef and Geoff and I have never met the man!
