Apples and young Oskar
Sunday morning with Anna and Anton and the bairns to Middle Farm near Lewes where there was an Apple Festival. Teeming rain all morning, soaking the farm and fields. And probably significantly lowering attendance. (Although the core support was there.) Had a good laugh however tasting cider, and buying speciality foods such as smoked cheddar and sloe gin and honey. Of the attractions my favourite was Mouse Town, a small dripping tent filled with a big glass case containing a wonderful streetscene populated by mice. There were mice everywhere looking through miniature windows and doors, lurking in miniature shops and even a boozer too, where no doubt they went to get ratted.
We also met Martin and Sam there too with their young nipper Charlie. I enjoyed going for a walk with Baby Klauds, when she got bored sitting around in the cafe tent, and loved watching her zigzagging happily from puddle to puddle. Dripping but happy we then all drove back to Brighton.
Excellent afternoon and evening with Anton and Anna. Anton cooked a duck with sour cherry which was excellent. The duck was referred to as canard however, as not to disturb Klauds who'd just been feeding them. Employed Anton's record cleaning machine to clean up a few LPs. Lots of sitting about talking with both Anna and Anton listening to tunes. I also fed Oskar who woofed happily into cheese and cauliflower slop, followed by apple slop. He is an exceedingly good natured little thing. Turns out that I am now Oskar's godfather too as well as Klaudia. Me, Brian and Christiane are the godparents to the pair of them, which is nice.
Ended the night with Anton in the Eddy for a some cheeky beers. Had an excellent day all round. Below... Some apples; and Mousetown.
