Another lazy day: the Durham family still with us, so it still feels as if we are celebrating! A late breakfast is on the agenda: plenty of smoked salmon and cream cheese left from yesterday to start things off. Then I had made some fruit muffins for everyone as well - this used to be a family tradition: Mum made pancakes on one day at the weekend and I made muffins on the other...but those days are long past...
Today was the first day of the new Test series against South Africa, so of course we had to tune into that, though the rapid disappearance from the crease of Messrs Cook and Hales did put a bit of a pall on proceedings to start with. England did recover somewhat later on though: game on...
Another very mild day meant that we didn't even need any coats on the walk to the pub for a drink before lunch. On this occasion we headed to the
Cricketers, but more because of the park and associated play equipment than the beer selection... That being said, the pub is still one of the nicest around and we had a most pleasant drink before heading home for lunch.
What then followed was one of my absolute favourite types of lunches: lots of things to choose from, some hot, some cold, with plates all over the table - it was one of those meals where you can just stay sitting all afternoon, grazing away... which we did....
