Friends

I think the biggest anxiety about moving to a new area where you don't know anyone... and I mean anyone.... is that you won't have friends. But of course old friends visit and you do make new ones.

We had a brilliant evening with our new friends. We ate outside, food cooked on a smoker and coals, and then we went indoors and played a fun game which became known unofficially and affectionately as "drop drop drop".

We are very lucky indeed, as we also came home with a sourdough starter which currently feels like an extra child. I'm sure it's more straightforward than it seems! Fingers crossed!
