My chair!

M did the lunch today.  She always hosts the ladies on the last Tuesday of the month.  Her cat was not going to allow us to sit in her chair.
Minestrone soup and steamed syrup sponge.  Just the thing for a cold, damp November day.
Also had some fizz provided by one of our number who is off to New Zealand next week to visit her son.  She hasn't seen him or the grandchildren for 3 years.  He is her only child and it has been hard for her.
