IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would say hello and how are you this week , then we could smile at the fact that we can have two get together’s because we have all had coffee with Paul and I really enjoyed that!
Now this week, though I am hosting we are going over to the The Blue Madame to have tea at her place! I am really looking forward to this as I have heard so many little snippets about what she would like to do. In fact , I think it was last year, she had a lovely Tea Afternoon with all her local friends and her sister. She has lots of lovely china which she was delighted to get to use! … I hope we get the best china and as long as there are no marauding Raccoon’s hiding in the bushes I shall be sure not to drop any cups or saucers.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would have say isn’t it lovely here. Look we can either sit in the garden ( yard if you are American) or inside ! Look here is Deana the cat coming to welcome us , oh! hello sweety you are so pretty, it is so nice to meet you at last. Look there is the husband he is keeping in the background… I think that, that apron really suits him.
Aha! here is our delectable and generous hostess Hi there Madame or shall we call you Blue. It is so lovely to see at last we have chatted or wordpress and the occasional email it is so lovely to be here with you to relax over tea and have a chat.
Now as we are here on a visit why don’t you tell us some more about your job you always have me in stitches when you describe some of your more precise clients ( code for winging moaners ) it always reminds me of some of the awkward souls I had to deal with in my customer service days!
Is that your sister, I can see the likeness, look she is coming over, hi there how are you today.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would tell you how busy a week I have had , it just has not stopped. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I was up at 6pm and off to the gym. I have been told by the doctors if I don’t exercise regularly my back would slip again apparently not where they fixed the breaks but above or below. Luckily my two classes were not on this week because I don’t think I could of fitted them in!
Monday was gym, shopping housework washing ironing, Tuesday much the same , Wednesday I visited a local beauty spot with a friend and we walked around it twice! We are in the middle of a spell of wonderful weather here in the UK at the moment so with the view the weather and a couple of stops for coffee and icecream we had a perfect day!
Thursday the gym housework then in the afternoon I met some of the girls I used to work with before I retired …only one is still working . Then in the evening we were out with friends for an Indian meal which was yum!
Friday we were up early and , my hubby and I caught a bus ( new route which actually passes our front door ) to our nearest large town . We did some shopping , had a coffee and a chat then we walked along the river, we saw lots of water birds. The stars of which was this Swan family. Dad spent a lot of time chasing the Canada Geese away… we have a lot of Canadian Geese we also have some English ones too!

IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would mention that we went over to see the Newbie who is growing so fast I can’t keep up !! Hubby and son did some gardening , daughter in law and I helped a little then we played with Newbie and we all had a cup of coffee.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I will have to say I must dash no as there is a lot to be done this afternoon! I would love to stay but I have to go but you are all more than welcome to stay…OH! Hang on Blue is it alright if everyone stays a while.
Thank you so much Madame for putting up with me and being so gracious to all our visitors!!
