Monday 1.

Garden's looking well. Most beds now surrounded by aubretia.
Central raised bed with tulips and pansies - a flare of colour.
Colours a bit more subtle:-  snake's head fritillaries, and white fritillaries. Both these seem to have increased in number sinc last year.

Friends Keith and Jill joined us for lunch. This last winter Jill had given us several brace of pheasants (she is given them as payment for beating at the local shoots), and as we still had some in the freezer Ann decided to do a pheasant casserole for lunch. It was excellent !  For pudding Ann gave us apple charlotte with cream, followed by excellent coffee.

 After lunch (bearing in mind they too are dealers ,specialising in early metalware and oak) a little business took place. As Keith remarked :-  "Nice, civilised way of mixing business and pleasure."
 As they'd never seen the inside of St. Mary's the four of us then walked into town and spent an hour or so looking round the church and various of the other interesting buildings in town. Then home, cup of tea, and Jill and Keith started for their home just before five o'clock. All told, a very pleasant, relaxing day.
