Friends for lunch
Jo was very excited from very early today that we were off to see her friend Sennon (and our friends Victoria and Grenville, and Sennon's (half-)brother Charles). Unluckily we weren't due to see them until 1200, so we had some time to kill. We went off to the garden centre and bought some stuff (note - I don't do gardens particularly), had a tea/coffee and a muffin ("dake!") each, and then headed off to see them via Peterfield Antique Village outside Gosfield. Some odd stuff, some nasty stuff, but some rather better stuff, too.We had a lovely time with Victoria and Grenville (et al.). Charles is a great lad - about to turn 12 - and Jo and Sennon get on brilliantly, playing very sweetly indeed. He even fed her the end of his blackberry and apple crumble while she sat on my knee next to his high chair, which, to be honest, I'm not sure I would have done even as her father (the crumble, like the lamb casserole, was excellent).
