Tree planting day. Bill has two trees started in pots that need to be transplanted and they're big enough that moving them has become a two-person job. They pick us up after Jane's physio appointment and we head out to the British base for fish and chips. Stunning warm, sunny day. The restaurant is on the edge of the sea. See-through plastic windows still in place, so the view is a bit hazy, but in the summer they'll be removed and the breeze will flow through. J and Bill transplant a young grapefruit tree and one other. J says the soil is extremely dry when they dig down but the trees get a good watering. Home with a beautifully marbled.
Thick slice of Bill's latest culinary production, rabbit terrine. Light supper after lunchtime fish and chips. Light maybe, but with terrine and marinated olives from Jane and Bill's tree indecently luxurious.
