The rain held off yesterday to allow us a respite from the damp and cooler air we've experienced over the last week. The garden has had a good soaking and the flowers were looking a little battered but started to perk up again. We had friends over for the afternoon and took the children a walk with a fishing rod and a bucket. Thumper met his friends and had a sniff and a play. As well as annoying the odd dog-unsure tourist who didn't want lick-kissed or sniffed. They don't know what they're missing. I never understand people who can't take affection from a dog. I mean, they don't know what gorgeously pure doggy love they're rejecting. Thumper just wants a treat in return, if possible. But a cuddle will do nicely, he's not too fussy.
(All tiddlers were returned to their friends in the water after being studied at close quarters in the bucket for half an hour.)
Then it was back home for food. A Brittany inspired evening of French cider and crepes, courtesy of our own French chef of the evening, Lionel.
Filled with ham, cheese and egg. Absolutely delicious. And finished with a dessert crepe of bananas, caramelised sugar, and flambeed with the Amaretto liqueur Disaronno! Only for the grown ups.....the children had honey and Nutella on theirs.
(Clever people will notice the spelling mistake......)
Just another lovely day.
