Today was one of those perfect days that happens when one's best friend is visiting, there are no specific plans, and the sun is shining when you wake up!
First Annabel and I went for a run the long way to get to the honesty box near the Coach and pick up some eggs so we could make waffles. It was a clear, glorious day and the public footpaths we ran on took us through shady woodland and past postcard-pretty stone houses with climbing roses before we got to our egg destination and then ran carefully back home.
The Bake Off was taken rather seriously: Boys vs Girls. Each team had to create both a savory and a sweet dish using bit of ready-made puff pastry. The Girls made a feta, bacon and basil quiche and a "summer pie" while the Boys made bacon, cheese and egg parcels and baked cheesecake (with no puff pastry), and it was all extremely good.
They laid the table very nicely and set places for us 4 judges.
There was plenty of trampoline jumping throughout the day and we also watched some football, and it was just a really wonderful, actually perfect, day.

In the afternoon we did some good weeding in the back garden and then I took Chris and Annabel for a long walk while the 4 kids prepared their "British Bake Off" masterpieces under the alleged supervision of Rhodri (not!).
