June

Not
the best of weather for June, but we did manage to fit in a couple of
barbecues, and the girls did not forget Fathers Day on Sunday 19, Jay producing
this unmistakeable card for the occasion:

On
Saturday 25 we welcomed Mike and his mother for their annual visit, who came
bearing generous gifts and news of their latest travels. Teresa again excelled herself providing a
magnificent lunch of steak en croûte: she decided to buy the meat with her usual
weekly order from Tesco on-line, and I have to say it could not have been
bettered – a magnificent fillet without a trace of fat or gristle. She made a cheesy starter and a meringue
pudding to complete the meal. Roger had
a small role opening the wine and making the coffee.
