Daughter came for lunch Monday mainly to get the dog out of the house as her landlord was sending round an electrician for the regulation annual electrics check, (in fact they've lived there for about 17 years and this is the first time). Lovely to have her to myself for a while and catchup.
Tuesday I met with friendS and friendL for lunch, this has been postponed a few times when each friend had family with a health problem, so we had a lot to catch up on. We went to the Belstead Brook Hotel which is just round the corner to where we live. They've a lovely restaurant area which is never busy at lunchtime (some of our topics we wouldn't want overheard), you'll never be hurried, plus they have a pensioner's menu of two courses and tea or coffee for just £11.95. We chatted away for four hours hahaha
It's lovely where I sit in the lounge when the French doors are both open as I get a great view of garden and watch the birds coming and going.
Apart from this one spooky leaf that keeps staring at me.
Hubby and neighbourA helped another neighbour with her leaking bathroom sink, Hubby fixed it eventually and she was so grateful that she's promised to take them out for lunch soon. I also got a "thank you for lending me your husband" bunch of roses.
Phew, see I made it all the way to the end without mentioning the record breaking heat! Oops I've said it now 🙄

lovely flowers Part 1 :-).
Heat meant we didn't go to Folk by the Oak two weeks ago on 17th July (C&I decided we wouldn't be able to cope with the heat - there is little shelter and even then it would be too hot) but headed down to neighbour's place in South Hams a day early - the place he has down there is an old barn and the sun never hit the front wall (windows only ate front other than a couple of roof lights upstairs that had blinds closed so the building stayed cold.
Sad to miss the Folk by the Oak but the cool barn definitely was the better choice over heatstroke!
