IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE : I would be so excited about the tomatoes they are beginning to fruit the flowers are going over and the fruit is appearing! Small now but full of promise! This will be our second crop and we are expectantly waiting to see if they will be as good as the first years crop. We had so many huge and tasty Beef tomatoes we did not at first know what to do with them.
We sliced them like bread and ate them in sandwiches, on toast and in salads ! We then or rather the husband started to make pickles and tomato sauce, the type of sauce you use with pasta.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE : I would eventually find my manners and stop rambling on about the tomatoes. I would welcome you warmly and give you a big hug and say hello how are you and what would you like to drink, we have it all here since Paul has been joining us on a Sunday and bringing his friends the demand for new exotic teas and coffee has gone through the roof. I love this and I think that Diana who’s idea all these coffee breaks were ! So do take a seat , yes that one is fine, yes it very comfy, now this week I can also offer you iced tea or coffee if you don’t want a hot drink in all this hot weather that we have been experiencing. It is most unusual for us here but we are not complaining , no we are really enjoying it.
Would you like Lemon Drizzle Cake or perhaps you would prefer some Carrot Cake . We have plenty to choose from I was baking all day yesterday. Or maybe a biscuit we also have plenty of those. Paul has introduced some news to the table, that is an advantage of having people in from all over the world.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would tell you what a wonderful day we had yesterday, our youngest son is overseas on business and his beautiful wife and even more beautiful Newbie ( if that is possible ) came round to spend a lovely smile and giggle filled afternoon with us! The husband made a great meal and pudding and it was enjoyed by us all. The Newbie of course had his mum’s milk so he was happy!
I was delighted to watch our daughter in law chat and play with the beautiful boy. The love in their eyes was so honest and obvious it was, as I said, a delight to behold. In the week or so since I had last seen them together there seemed to be a new and closer bond between them. I am not saying they were not close before but something was easier and the two of them, Mum and Newbie were a joy to behold. Well we took lots of photos and had lots of cuddles with granddad as well as with me. We rounded up the afternoon walking them back to her Mum’s where she was staying for the week. Lots of lovely photos and lots lovely memories.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would tell you what an amazing week it has been weather wise in fact the last 6 weeks have been heavenly. The simple things like wandering around without a coat, being able to hang your washing out knowing it will be dry when you bring it in.
The shops have had BBQ food and and equipment fly off the shelves, sun hats and sun glasses too not to mention sun cream! It really does slow life down having sun sun sun, long relaxed evenings in the garden or out with friends. We have even sat on the patio with a glass of wine! Shock horror!!
It has also been a week of outings, my friend and I visited a local stately house which had wonderful gardens I did a Wordless Wednesday post on it . The house itself is a grade I listed, early Tudor manor house, dating from around 1440, so it had oodles of history!! Not to mention a lovely cafe with specialty coffees and teas cakes!! We had a lovely afternoon.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would tell you that we are expecting a side swipe from Tropical Storm Bertha which has barreled across the Atlantic from America. Luckily for us it has lost a lot of it’s vengeance. Friday evening was very dark and threatening . There were flood warnings across most of England and Scotland.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would tell you how very welcome you are and how much I look forward to our weekly get together, and that I do hope they continue for a while to come. So for now be well and be happy. 😀
If we were having coffee I’d ask you : would you like another cuppa, or a biscuit . I’d tell you I have really come to enjoy these chats and I’d love to hear what you would tell me , If we were having Coffee Original idea from http://parttimemonster.wordpress.com/
