20 June 2010 – Father Day

Not that I’m a great fan of these commercialised celebrations but having said that I very much appreciate the loving card that came from my dear daughter and the effort made by dear Son Miles and the lovely Kimberly, in driving down from London to  join us for lunch today to celebrate the event. Smiler also celebrated Father’s Day by giving me a bespoke card on which were his own kind words, which I am not sure were  really warranted but nevertheless they were heartfelt. After one of ‘my lovely’s’ delicious cold buffet lunches I was wheelchaired down the road to visit one of the ‘old faithfuls’ open house prior to their downsizing in a smaller house but  in the same village. Then, tea in the garden with some delicious apricots cake, made by Kimberly, before enjoying a cigar and a little whisky in the heat of the dying afternoon sun. A memorable Father’s Day
