To Thames Ditton to see Jenny and Doug, among our very favourite people to visit. Exceptionally good connections via Jubilee and a lovely day for sitting in the garden. J&D recently back from a relaxing Caribbean cruise and Doug pleased to demonstrate his newfound expertise in preparing aperol spritzes, the temperature providing good reason for summer drinks.
Emma drops by with Jasmine and Noah, whom we’ve known since birth. Jasmine preparing to write her GCSE exams in a couple of weeks. She’ll probably do brilliantly despite her worries.
Before they leave Jenny brings out a trifle - quite the nicest I’ve had, although failed to get it to pose for a photo op before we had made significant inroads.
Slightly surprised to see our leisurely luncheon visit has stretched nearly to seven. Jenny walks down to the station with us. Cheerful goodbyes as this time we’ll be back soon.
