Morning packing and getting the rest of the food together for a weekend away. Amazingly set off at more or less on time. Three and a half hours with barely any traffic issues - worse bit was the north circular.
Countryside started getting very scenic - vale of Evesham, the Malverns and other distant hills. Arrived at 4, toured the house, unpacked and stowed food away. Anna and Sophie arrived and we had strawberries and bubbly sitting on the capacious sofas.
L and P were not due till 9 so we had more bubbly and nibbles, and played Bananagrams. Anna played a bit for us. Once L and P arrived, prepared the prawn, white wine, garlic and chilli spaghetti, struggling with the old electric cooker. Cheese and chocolate to follow.
3 good things
1. The Malverns - magical, mystical hills in the landscape.
2. Beautifully restored houses you can stay in.
3. Winning at Bananagrams.
Enjoy 😉
