Been a nice,sociable sort of a day. Tony and Yvonne, our ex neighbours, popped in for coffee and warmed up hot cross buns this morning, and we spent an hour or so catching up on family news. This afternoon we went round to Sue and David's for 'tea and buns' ( I quote Sue). Our friend Terry also turned up, with her son Jeremy, his wife, Vicky, and their son Alex. We hadn't seen Alex for a while, and he has turned into a very pleasant 14 year old, with a passion for computers and photography. Rather more rarely, he has developed along the way a sense of humour. During the course of a very pleasant afternoon Jeremy surprised me by reciting (in chronological order) all the titles of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, together with all the alternative titles. I thought I'd a reasonably good memory, but that will just 'larn me'. Alex showed us some photographs he'd taken this afternoon of a green woodpecker lunching on the contents of his grandmother's lawn. Very good and detailed they were too. Talking of snapshots, above is one of a Suffolk lane we took on our way home this afternoon. Typical Suffolk countryside in early spring. Must go and get on with some work. May add more later if feeling energetic. Oh, by the way, the embroidery I mentioned yesterday that Ann is doing, is, I'm told, Hardanger work. It's all white.
