Sorry, been busy
Sorry & all that. I haven't been around for nearly a month, I'm surprised that anybody bothers to look at the blog, but grateful that you do.
It has been
hectic! A succession of three sets of visitors the last of whom left
yesterday. The first set was a couple we haven't seen in years. They're
newly minted Americans having become citizens just last year after
living in the states for over 20 years. (originally they're British)
They were here ten days & said they had a great time even though they
left with a touch of Francois's revenge and a ten hour flight back to
California. Just goes to show how different set of bugs can get you if
you're not used to them; none of the rest of us got it.
The second lot
were friends from England, Northerners to be exact. They are a great
couple & great guests. Tony & I took turns cooking & played golf whist
the ladies did a bit of shopping. Copious amounts of wine evaporated
somehow. We'll be seeing them again when we visit their new Florida
house in January. Should be a lot of fun & a lot of golf.
Last, but not
least we're my brother & sister-in-law. We always enjoy them as they're
family & easy to get along with. We'll see a lot of them now that
they've both retired. Derek & I played several rounds of golf as well as
watching the Ryder Cup. The sisters did what sisters always do, they
talked & shopped. Plenty to talk about as our niece, their daughter, is
getting married here next June.
During all of this
there was, naturally, lots of cooking going on. Many old favorites pus a
couple of new inventions. I'll post about the new inventions over the
next few days. Suffice it to say that we ate well both at home, at
friends and at our favorite restaurant.
That's it for now.
Promise to get back into the blog now that life has calmed down.
Wish we could
spread our visitors out more, but they all guessed September would be
good and it was. Spectacular weather all month. Its changed now and fall
is upon us. Whoopee! Michael & I will go scrounging - apples, walnuts,
hazelnuts, mushrooms (if we get some rain), figs and pears. Its a tough
life in the country.
