I was teaching a difficult class at Granville school on Friday when G phoned with the news.
By careful choice of response, they were convinced that it was the Head calling to check on their behaviour, following the silence to ascertain who had the illegal phone!
I called at M&S, Ventura Park on the way home to have coffee with the Kingsbury clan & catch up on the gossip.
Yesterday we went to see JR in Cambridge - the weather was beautiful, warm & sunny.
We went to The Angel at Stoke by Nayland, picked from The Michelin guide; Peter drove up from Mistley & met us for lunch.
We had a potter around Dedham & then went to Flatford mill, where you "park & walk"
JR had last been there in the '60s, neither G nor I had been before, but JR said that it hadn't changed, just the trees had grown up somewhat.
Today I went to St James to join P, A & extended family at the family service, following J &T's christening there last Sunday. There were two baptisms, the second was Jack Daniel! The priest made some quip, then baptised him "Jack Daniels"!
We had scrambled egg & smoked salmon for lunch, read the papers & gardened this afternoon, dodging showers.
We have dined on fishcakes & asparagus, bought yesterday, in Suffolk, & watched a Jeremy Clarkson documentary on Sr Nazaire.
Time for bed.
A good second week for Wimbledon predicted.
Will Lott's cottage - The Hay (wain missing) apologies to J Constable!
On the lookout for the wain, on the way back to the mill.

Looks like a very nice day out. I have decided that we don't need to do more gardening this year other than cut the grass. That might turn in to a bigger job after W spread fertilizer on it.
Sounds like summer is returning, so back on the task of buying a parasol and sit back and enjoy our almost weed free garden.

It's difficult to do - I've never managed it.
