In the evening a welcome night out. Met First Matie and Matty boy and sat in the sun outside The Blue Anchor. Matt back from hols in the Scottish Islands and looking chilled and cheery. Kate crunching happily on pork scratchings.

Then Matt and me off to the Stonemason's Arms for some nice grub and wine. Matty introducing me to an extraordinary invention. Gin and Tonic with a cucumber slice. Full of inspired ideas that man.
