Apologies for the lack of blogs. but the garden and home between them have been pretty demanding. I have taken plenty of photos, and lots of flowers and bugs all of which will wait until I have more time. For today I want to celebrate with you all having a meal out at the end of last month, the first in 15 months! Wow, it was like being let out of school it was so exciting!
I apologise for more photos than normal but I am the one who has the most problems I think with a very slow WiFi.

We were early, so I managed a shot from our table with the bridge in the background. It soon filled up, though they had limited numbers allowed.
The starter was a pork dish and really this is only a small pot!!
Rose wine.
We both had a chicken dish for the main course, but in the excitement of eating out I forgot a photo!
