A day of contrasts

Sunshine and showers, for the eightieth birthday party that we catered today.

What a lovely family and friends day.

Canapés prosecco and sunshine on the lawn, a short interlude of rain followed by the rest of the buffet lunch mostly in sunshine. A couple of blips when rain caused the umbrellas to raise, but otherwise a sunny day.

The food was much appreciated -- thankfully, we returned exhausted to Wick House at 5.30 for tea, a further clear up and a large gin and tonic (or two).

Now slumped in front of the TV unable to move -- apart from picking up my glass.
