How lucky are we...

 

These were our seats last night for aperos before joining some dear friends for dinner.

Outside in...

 

We had neighbours over for aperos last night and with these very high temperatures it was always about sitting outside. I had been in touch with our family back in Scotland to let them know the week ahead was going to be hot,hot,hot and they asked us to send some north to combat the rain. No sooner had I finished when the sky went dark and we were hit by an 'orage'. 

However with the temperatures being as they are it took only 10 minutes (the time difference between the images above) to dry out. So it was back to the outside plan. The weather however still had a hand to play and as we were enjoying some drinks and nibbles it threw another heavy shower down on us, which meant a quick gathering up of plates and glasses and a quick retreat indoors. 

Time to get back to 'lockdown' ?

After three  pleasant apero evenings, safely distanced, getting back in touch with friends, out of four (+ fun family quiz on Zoom) time we slipped back to lockdown perhaps!
