On Things Not Going According to Plan

A few months ago, just as the great freeze was beginning, I attended a fabulous bloggers’ lunch in London with some new friends and not quite so new friends (I’m still a neophyte in this blogging world so it’s a bit early to consider fellow bloggers “old friends”).
