Busy Sunday

I wasn't going to do a proper blog today, 'cos it's a bit late, but I don't want to disappoint Chris…

/wahaha

We had a reasonably relaxed start, as the first scheduled event was Elanor and Sally coming over at eleven. I got the paper and some bread, and at coffee time we had toasted sandwiches, as lunch was going to be late. I checked out the stern bilges, changing one or two of the nappies that had soaked up condensation.

Elanor and Sal duly turned up, still very pleased with themselves; Sally was competing yesterday, and out of three rounds had two eliminations, but then got a clear, her very first, on the helter skelter. Typical Dobie; either zilch or goes clear, none of this "five faults" malarkey.

We took her for a celebratory run in the field, and then had a natter with Elanor before she headed off back home to get some Sunday rest.

At one, we joined up with Chris, Lesley, Stephen and Jayne to go down to the Dragon for Sunday lunch. It was generally pretty good, though we had to ask for extra veg, and Les was promised crackling with her pork that didn't appear. Nonetheless, a jolly time all round, and we fell back on Sanity Again for coffee. By now it was mid afternoon, so the time just flowed by, with a load of gossip and tales.

They've just left; it was great to see Chris looking so well after a serious operation last autumn, and we certainly wish the pair of them well for their future in Eleventh Heaven.

I really am going to have to stop there; it's quite hard to be creative after such a great day!
