I've no doubt we can reach a decision in plenty of time to make the arrangements, dearest. Already I have eliminated half the short list and between Barty and the Razzer we have only three more sites to evaluate. It should be no trouble to complete our visits by the weekend.

As for the social calendar, we are always awash in more invitations than we can possibly accept. It is only that we have been flooded this week. I think the months of enforced travel restriction have resulted in rather a lag on planning, such that everyone is only just catching up. Already I anticipate a bevy of birth announcements to begin flowing in from now until Christmas!
