August

3rd Aug:
Once again forgot to ask our visitors to write in the book. Anyway, a Christian-cooked birthday meal (à la Delia) with Alan and Maureen was great.

4th Aug:
Champagne in the garden sunshine with Ann and Noel after an excellent meal at "Wildings" in Girvan is my kind of birthday present.

15th-19th Aug:
A weekend with Mary spent eating, drinking, talking and a little sunbathing. Colin and Sheila around for dinner.

23rd Aug:
A "train pals" night in the house. Chinese carryout, wine and plenty of chat.

25th Aug:
Surprise picnic by the Solway Firth à la Greque with Mary Kate and Johnny then home for supper and a bottle of wine.
