Good Friday

I definitely had a Good Friday.

It was a perfect start to what I hope will be a lovely weekend. The day began with a delicious cooked breakfast followed by a laze in the garden soaking up the sun. As with yesterday it got quite hot at times and the morning was spent drifting in and out of the house but always keeping the back door open. I started The Fifth Elephant a book written by Terry Pratchett and made the most of a comfy sun lounger and the good weather.

We went to a pub for lunch, sitting outside in what must have been more than 20 degrees celsius although the car gauge read 17 on the way home. We hadn't been to The Crispin before but had often driven past it and thought that we should give it a try. It certainly lived up to our expectations and I'm sure we will make a return visit soon.

The journey there and back was made with the roof down, a rare luxury given the time of year. Before heading home we stopped off to pick up 2 ice creams from our favourite van. "Two regular ninety nines please" I said surrounded by little kids eager to get to the front of the queue. I felt like the biggest kid in town as he handed me two enormous cones with flakes, a huge smile on my face and no doubt ice cream around my mouth I headed back to the car where we scoffed them down and then made for home.
