Afternoon tea!

Today the weather has been horrible with heavy grey skies and rain. It comes as a real shock now after all the weeks of sunshine we've been having!

The morning was spent pottering about and not doing a lot. In the afternoon we met Mum and Dad at Beckworth as they were treating us to afternoon tea, although the children decided to have pulled pork wraps served with chips and salad.

I enjoyed the tea but I felt they had reduced the offering quite a bit. The last time Sophie and I enjoyed it at Beckworth we couldn't finish it! Keith and I devoured the offerings - sandwiches, crisps, a small scone served with jam and cream and two little cakes - quite rapidly!

As usual, the place was packed but we didn't have to wait long to be seated and it was great to all sit together and have a natter. The children gave Dad their present - a bottle of Gran Reserva Rioja - which he was delighted with.

We had a quick meander around after eating and then it was home to check on our ebay sales. We sold the leather jacket and a Levi's shirt so I arranged the postage and packaged them up. The weather hadn't improved at all, unfortunately and tomorrow we have warnings out for thunderstorms, which means nothing will happen at all!

By about 8pm we were all feeling a bit peckish so we had some pate and crispbreads. I found a little game called Devilish Dilemmas so we played that while we ate!
