Afternoon Tea

I was not needed for the school run this morning. This should have meant there was an opportunity for a lie-in. That's not how things work. I was wide awake anyway, so it made sense to get up and get some caffeine flowing through my veins.

The morning saw Ocado come and go and a brief trip to Sainsbury's. Cupboards and fridges are now appropriately stocked for another week.

This afternoon we had invited Chris and Maureen around for a cup of tea and some scones. The weather had brightened up though the wind was still quite strong. We set out the cushions around the garden table and sat out for a couple of hours or so, chatting. Along with the usual subjects of health, holidays, and family, we were surprised to hear that they have become interested in football now that their son Daniel is working for Brentford FC (running their IT). We told them about our trip to see Bognor play Portsmouth and they commented that they would have come if they had known.

It was a lovely couple of hours.
