Kate, Jane and the Cats!

We spent a delightfully fun afternoon yesterday at David and Jane's house.

David was the chef, and we had a lovely joint of Lamb, with roast potatoes and lots of yummy vegetables - followed by some of the most amazing ice-cream I have ever eaten (I have to write that incase Jane ever reads this blog :D)

Kate and Tess came to dinner with us, and Kate has a wonderful relationship with Jane where they are like sisters (by that I mean they squabble ALL the time) however with the best intent and will in the world, and it's very entertaining to be around them :D

David and Jane have 2 cats, and although I'm afraid I will never be a cat person, I am an animal person and they were cute cats. I don't think Pippa will ever be introduced to them though.... hmm! Jane and I are agreed on one thing, that they are of course surrogate children. It was also interesting to find out that David thinks she loves the cats more than him... as this is what Jon thinks about me with Pippa- I think they might need to start a support group, as it's clearly a man thing :D

Roger, Jane's brother, came to lunch as well, he is a very nice man and has some interesting stories to tell, especially about Organs! There is a lovely pipe organ in the church at Bulkington and I hope to hear him play sometime, as he plays properly - feet as well as fingers!

Zoikes! While I'm writing, someone's just thrown something out of an upstairs window... Pippa is currently looking out the window at the disturbance... I can't wait for the day we don't live in a flat.. although the downside of that is that if something falls past my window, it's either part of a plane or a piece of guttering...
