Garden party

Innis and Rosie came by this morning, with two guys in a van to drop off some furniture. Then Lorraine and I drove to Robin and Nick's home in Eastbourne, and sat in their enormous garden for a small gathering. They have a party at this time of year most years. This was what Robin said was a scaled down affair with just a few friends, and it was a perfect day for it. Enjoyed meeting two of Robin's old school pals Hester and Maggie -- who call her Liz as she changed her name after she left school.  We also chatted lots with Janet and Leslie, and a very stylish woman, who Robin and Nick know through the choir, called Sally. All in all a lovely way to spend the afternoon, eating rhubarb sponge and sipping some fizzy wine. 

A gorgeous drive home over Beachy head and so on back home, into the sun with gorgeous views everywhere. A lovely day.
