A beautiful day.
It was down to the allotment to pick beans and dig up potatoes for the days lunch, Sue having bought and poached the whole salmon over night. All hands on deck as the meal was prepared, the french doors swung wide open,the tables set up with the umbrella, the grass cut, the drinks ready, it was all go, everyone happy the day had turned out to be so great.
Laura arrived a little worse for wear from the previous evening so she said her hellos and then took off to catch up on some sleep. Good to see her and looking good and a lot of fun.
2 pm was arrival time for Mandy,(expecting an addition to the family in early November) Nick and little Sophie.
Lunch was a great success hearing all the family news and the talk of the holiday they were off on the next day to the south west of France. Having been to France many times this however was all new for them, as they were trying out a holiday camp site with self contained vans. Sue reassured them that they were great places to stay as they had used them many times.
Gweneth then arrived from Holy Head being a previous work colleague of Stuarts when they use to write and publish articles on social law etc.
We were a happy bunch and the day passed very pleasantly,
finishing with us sitting in the garden until 830 enjoying the long warm summer evening.
Must do some exercise as all this eating and drinking is beginning to show!
Maybe tomorrow.
