Hugh's birthday party

I can not believe the time has gone so fast.  Our friend Hugh's 60 birthday party.  We have been friends now for 42 years.  Not constant, losing touch over the years but coming together like we never lost touch.  Really lovely party meeting up with people from the past.

Dads cherry tree

Back in th UK eating cherries off the tree my dad bought me 40 years ago.  The tree is way past its best but as dad died in 2000 I can't bring myself to cut it down.  Usually the birds have eaten all the fruit by this time so I will monitor the garden birds to see if we still have the numbers.

The dogs were collected Thursday evening and were due to arrive this evening.  Due to bad weather in France they are delayed so will have to wait up until they are delivered.  I hate having to put them through this but hopefully we will have a lovely summer and they will forget the journey.
