I've been away in the UK for a bit, I spent a lovely 3 weeks with my mum, we cooked together, spent time in the garden and did an inexplicably large number of jigsaws, I'm not sure if what I've come home with is classed as an addiction but it comes pretty close.
I also got to spend some time with my son Mark and his girlfriend Laura, I'm extremely proud of both of them, they have a drive and ambition that will take them both far, it was good to leave the 'ratrace' behind though and head for home. The journey back with Andy and Tilly took three days due to delays at Calais, there was an equal mix of singing, bickering and slow baking in the heat of a three seater van with no air-con.
Safe to say we were really, really glad to get home.
Ivy did a great job with the tomatoes, cucumber and broccoli, we're a bit late with the toms but are hopeful the longer summer will make up for our short comings.
The weather has been hot and we've enjoyed eating outside every evening, the TV is not up to much so we came back from UK armed with board games (thanks to Ivan and Dom's dad) and had a great game of Pokemon Monopoly last night. I do know how sad this sounds but my advice is give it a go, we all forgot how much fun you can have with some beer, a few folks and Cluedo :-)
Much Love from Tineggiori xxx
