Yesterday we were reunited with some really special people from our past: Arnie and Margit Orange. Arnie was especially important and influential in Rhodri's and my life for a lot of years. We had been trying to get together with them either in the US or England for quite awhile now, and finally they decided to fly over and see us for a weekend - all the way from Austin, Texas! We feel so honored that they did this for us!

We had a fantastic night last night of just sitting around talking and enjoying each other's company, and then a leisurely morning today. We went on a walk to the Cat Centre (it's got to be seen to be believed) and then ambled on to the Red Lion for some refreshment before walking back home ahead of the rain.

We had a rest in the late afternoon and then Arnie and Margit treated us to dinner at nearby pub
The Griffin Inn. Rhiannon had not been feeling herself for a couple of days now but she was especially grouchy when we were heading for dinner.

We had a lovely meal there and sat in the pub section rather than the restaurant

After our food, Rhiannon fell asleep in her seat and eventually moved to a horizontal position on the floor sort of under the table. She is a really good sport because she hardly did any complaining but just sort of checked herself out and slept. Poor thing.

We got back home and finished the evening with a lovely nightcap.
