Lunch at The Barn, where Mum and I nearly got up and left before ordering because of the screaming child on the next table. Luckily they vacated their table before we could put our coats on, so we were able to relax and enjoy our meals without being deafened. Everywhere we go lately there's always a screaming child - perhaps it's the same one haunting us. Anyway, it's the one thing I simply cannot bear, and guaranteed to make me grumpy.

These little yellow violas were a much more cheerful sight than the miserable whinging child - perfectly formed and very pretty.
