Family Day Out

Thank goodness we took the motorway over the border; the queue on the main road was several kilometres long and just to awful to contemplate. Our first stop was a drink at the waterfall then it was on to Boadella to see the ducks and the geese on the river. It was very warm when we arrived in St Lorenç so half of the group dropped out of the walk around the village, prefering to sit on a bench in the shade. No prizes for guessing who! Lunch as usual in our favourite restaurant was really good and David, the owner was as obliging as ever. Stopped off at the lake for a swim, and at La Jonquera for shopping and petrol on the way home. Then it was a quick bit of organisation to prepare for an apéritif in the garden with our co-horticulturalists, their parteners and visitors; we were 16 in all. We even stopped off at the rugby practice on the way down to the garden but this week I copped out. Packed up and came home around 9.30pm as the light was all but gone. Jean-Jacques and Michelle stayed for a coffee and a bit more chat. It was a long day and no question of reading before lights out.
Phew! At last the blog is up-to-date after being a week behind. Shouldn't leave it so long as I can't remember things from one day to the next!
