Quiet day

Val and I met up early - not for a walk this time, but for a trip to the garden centre.  We picked up what we needed, and had a quick chat in the cafe before heading back home.  With tea/coffee and cake, of course.
The tulips are nearly over, in the garden. This one has been my favourite, from the mixed bag of bulbs that I picked up back in the autumn.
This evening Richard and I are being treated to dinner with two old friends who live nearby.  Usually we meet up once a month, taking turns to cook for each other.
