Fun Food & Frolics

Friday saw us off to Il Pappatore in Bushey with My Parents & our neighbours,  Sara & Kev, to celebrate my Dad's birthday and - gasp - Sara's 40th!  Yummy food, a couple of bottles of red & a jolly good start to the weekend.

Saturday night was a party at Kev & Sara's, jugs of Pimms all night, that got stronger & stronger.  Excellent food by Sarah up the road, good music & fun friends & neighbours.  We partied well into the wee small hours, but thankfully Sunday allowed for a lie in.

After a lunch in front of the Grand Prix (go Schuie) it was time to visit the Moor again as the Oldies haven't been for a couple of weeks.  Mr & Mrs Swan paraded 8 cygnets for us to admire, they are getting very brave & come quite close to the dogs, which is challenging, then on our way back the cows were across the path.  No problem, pop Bel back on the lead and go through slowly....nope a couple panic & skitter off, then they all line up behind and trot after us.  Hmmm worrying thoughts of tales of people & dogs being trampled come to mind.  Then I think, perhaps they are usually elderly people with yappy dogs....so Keith dropped behind with Emily on a flexi, which seemed to entertain them. So there we are walking 5 dogs & a herd of Cows! Where is the camera when you need it.

Back home we bid fond farewell to the Mothership Van as it made its way off to it's new home, all in all a good few days.
