chewing the fat/stick

My favourite time of day - sitting in the sunshine enjoying our morning cup of coffee and some chit chat. 

They're all gone now, departing by bus and train for points north and south. Just D, me and Jess. The bedding and towels have all been washed and dried, more food bought to replace what was eaten, and a semblance of order returned to the house (we really don't ever have an orderly house). I'm not too sad because I'll be seeing Chris and Sarah again on Friday, and Luke and Maria in six weeks' time, and Joe only lives a few miles away so I can see him anytime :-) And I'll have time to comment on a few people's blips!

Time to make the tea now (just for 2)
