Tony & Pene Visit

Nice lunch with our old chums T&P. Good to catch up. I made a mushroom and tomato quiche/flan. Salad and riatta. Pickled bootroot from a jar. Thats shiuld be a beetroot! This G&T has gone tio my head! Hazel is back from her hooping class and this is a nice way to wind down after a busy day of entertaining friends and popping to Co-op for things we forgot to get yesterday. There's always something. Went for a walk after lunch - gosh it was so warm - a real Summer's day! Saw two dead frogs and two swans. Hazael fed one some frozen peas which had thawed by the time we got to the fishing ponds. The other swan was making a nest in the middle on a patch of reeds so hopefully some signets in few weeks time. The peas were greatly appreciated - the swan was licking his beaky lips! Home for some tea and cake alfresco in the back garden. Yum!
