Meeting friends

Next week is our friends birthdays and wedding anniversary so we arranged to pop up today with their presents as the weather is iffy all week. As we drove up it started to rain! 
Arrived at their front door with our umbrellas but it stopped and the sun came out. and we were able to sit in their garden. 
Slightly better than last year when  we had to chat in their front garden while they stood in their porch. .. but then we thought  that it wouldnt be long before things would be ' back to  normal '  Little did we know! 
Scary how time seems to have flown A year ago we were in the first lock down and it seemed to be forever after less than 2 months. 

We had a  very pleasant couple of hours and it was good to see them ' properly' .. as properly as possible.
