Invited over to the in-laws of Jane and Bill’s granddaughter Jenny. All relatives except us. Four children including a month old baby, at the sweet age of sleeping happily in the arms of whichever adult picks him up. Huge buffet and a house big enough to comfortably hold all seventeen of us. A ten minute drive away, but Tony kindly ferries us. Sample a surprisingly complex and attractive gooseberry and elderflower liqueur before bed.
