It was still really windy and I noticed that the clematis that covers one complete side of our garden has only a couple of flowers left on it! The rest have been blown away.

A nice walk but with a winter coat on (?!) Ellie just loves all the horses and has to go and say hello to them.

In the evening we went to see Fairport Convention at the Playhouse, Whitstable. For my birthday from Lou, Rhys and the family, I had a voucher for a taxi there and back and also a 3 course pre theatre dinner for Mal and I at Samphire restaurant where Sol happens to work! It’s a very popular restaurant and many celebrities dine there. We had a very good meal. Sol works here part time and goes to catering college. It must run in the family, my dad was a chef. Anyway, Sol cooked all our food for us and very good it was too. Bless him he even came into the restaurant  to give his Nanny a big hug!

I think we had special treatment with lots of extras including Bucks Fizz and the best table right in the window.

As if this wasn’t enough for one evening, we then went on to see Fairport Convention. We never grow tired of them and they have such a huge repertoire because they have been going so long (since 1967!) I think like a good wine,they improve with age. For anyone who hasn’t a clue what they do, here is a sample of their very varied performances.

A really lovely evening.

The first day of June and we have the heating on! The weather people did promise 2 months of summer but I am not sure when that will arrive.

We walked Ellie in the drizzle and met a lot of other wet dog walkers. No matter what the weather we are all out walking!

Mal decided he ought to work an hour at the allotment. A shame the rain started again and got heavier and heavier! He was soaked when he arrived home. BUT we now have another 4 kilo of broad beans, organic of course.

We both love any kind of beans. We eat loads of vegetables, which is just as well with Slimming World. One of our favourite recipes is Diet Cola Chicken. It doesn’t sound that good but it really is. Click on it to get the recipe, very easy. Mal isn’t doing Slimming World but he loves all their meals.

I started watching the tennis in the afternoon. Sometimes I despair of Murray, 4-1 up and then loses the first set!! He did win in the end but he could make it easier.

My TV viewing is sorted for the next couple of weeks, Springwatch is on! It is from Minsmere. Mal and I went there when we visited Suffolk.
