Saturday was most definitely a day of two halves.
The first half of the day was spent cleaning, tidying and preparing food for our planned get-together. By three o'clock the house was reasonable presentable, and we even had time for a short snooze before our guests arrived.
We were joined by C&S and B&H in the late afternoon for the more relaxed half of the day. We settled in the garden to chat, drink and occasionally get the binoculars out to check out the aeroplanes from the airshow.
I can report that the coffee cake was a great success, although we quickly moved on to alcoholic beverages and savoury nibbles, and by the end of the evening we had consumed a lot of wine!
B&H left late in the evening, and the rest of us eventually made our way to our beds around midnight.
It is fair to say that very little was achieved on Sunday.
We breakfasted out in the garden; demolishing home cured bacon sandwiches and eggs; collected from the coop that very same morning.
After copious amounts of tea and coffee, we managed to summon the energy to take a walk down the lane and out along the bridleway. C&S departed late in the morning, and we were left to have a very lazy day.
One thing worth mentioning about the weekend was that Wilson was absolutely amazing. He was a little noisy when our guests arrived, but settled down within minutes and was relaxed for the rest of the time. The boy has only been with us a dozen days, but is rapidly fitting in with us and our little pack. He still has his moments, and can be a little possessive at times, but, overall, seems to have the makings of a lovely dog.
