Fun times

It's now nearly six weeks since Kate & Silv arrived and the visits have continued ever since. Nadine took Jodi & Mouse to Nantes airport at the weekend - we're very proud of how she's taken to coping with a left-hand drive on the right-hand side of the road: it's going to be a shock returning to UK driving!

We had lots of fun times with J&M, including Tine digging out her ballet shoes to show she can still go manage pointe work, and MANY Happy Hours spent at La Paillote (where I showed I can still manage pint work)! Phil & Si were very taken with the piano and have spent much time practising.

Back to the garden and here's evidence of a fantastic crop of tomatoes - anyone got a crossbow for Philliam Tell?! The monsters in Photo 6 are baking as I type this - wonderful stuffed tomatoes à la Meryl's cookbook. Just waiting for Matt to arrive - we're starving and it smells good!!

Finally Nadine had a very friendly visitor yesterday. It's funny how the baby lizards easily scamper over your feet or even your shoulders when given a chance.
