I can't be sure, but I think that we had a small 'twister' this afternoon. It was a hot, sunny and cloudless day with little or no wind, when suddenly, the most powerful 'circular force' lifted and knocked lots of things over in the garden. It lasted no more than 10 seconds and did not reappear. Strange.

Jan had arranged with the Lloyds (pictured above at the recent sausage evening) that they should come over for dinner. Glyn offered that they should bring both the starter and pudding and Jan to prepare the main. What a meal! The starter consisted of a mixture of the largest crevettes that I have ever seen (from the far east), combined with mussels, in a fish soup. Jan cooked roast, stuffed (with apricots and nuts) tenderloin of pork with dauphinois potatoes, followed by a salad and then cheese with figs off our tree, and Gill prepared peaches in Sauterne. Wow, what a feast. Arguably the most sumptuous meal we have ever eaten here and as Jan said, "you'd be pushed to find anything like that in a restaurant."
