What could be better than seeing friends at the weekend coming down from Blackpool with the best girls in the world … Molly and Bailey the two Beagles I adore ..it had seemed ages since I saw them, it had been .they were delightful as ever , actually better behaved they seem so very happy and content and are just adorable and loveable as ever ..they seem still like puppies but Molly is in her 8th year …
Lucky with the weather no rain over the weekend … they arrived Friday afternoon tea served at the cottage !
just slightly camp …moi ! a nice catch up… followed by a walk around Wherwell and popped in to see Michael and Emma around their beautiful garden its stunning .. then back to thatch and dinner or tea a in joke … sitting outside at night first time this year but it did get a bit chilly for Dougie but it was a fun evening..
Reece my friend has started a new chapter in his life, his past relationship had run its course earlier this year and it was time for them both to move on… with a little bit of match making from his his dear mum Terry he has met Danny ..
so it was great to spend time with them and welcome Danny to the country … we all had met in Windsor so it was a very nice to spend time with them both and of course the girls …. Saturday breakfast in garden then trip into Winchester for a walk about … Dougie in chair me and my boot what a couple … Reece and Danny a great help for me with help with Dougie, its been a little difficult with my boot getting dougie in sand out of the cottage i pray the ramp is on its way !!! They suggested i with my new look Beard that i needed it trimmed so I went off as they went for a walk around Winchester , On return back to cottage we went to the new local BLACK CHALK WINERY and did wine tasting and nibbles it was very pleasant and fun on our door step…
back to cottage for more nibbles for a relax before dinner /tea at the Fox in Crawley which was lovely I really like it there the food and service is so very good … home and well needed bed
Sunday morning I was up bright and early watered garden pottered around as I do… I did get up a bit to early lol .. We then went for a walk on the old railway track i so enjoy that walk … it was okay with boot and walking stick … back to cottage a light breakfast as we were quite bloated from eating to much yesterday and we were going for lunch at the Grosvenor in Stockbridge for lunch …. Lunch was fab sitting in the court yard which is stunning … A sunday roast what could be better just perfect it was delicious Roast Beef at its best
A drive back through Leckford and a trip to the Leckford Waitrose garden center before heading back to the thatch and time for them to drive back to Blackpool … it all went so fast I’m sorry to say …
So it was a really lovely weekend … and spending it with Reece and Danny was very special x
