VISITORS TO THE PORCH

My sister Helen enjoying summer on the porch.

We're not exactly over-run with visitors out here in the wilds of Norfolk, but my sister braved the ride from Barrie and we had a good 2 days of catching up. Strolled the pier in Burwell, played numerous games of Crokinole,  ate at ME & Suzies, had a marathon Mr. Bean watching, but mostly sat and enjoyed the quiet. A good time all around.

Earlier, Father's Day, in fact, Matt & Vanessa and the kids came for the day, and Michael was here, so we were all together for the first time in a long while.  It was also Matt's birthday.  We put up the little white tent as a sitting area, with the sun shining, the bugs tolerable, cold beer and coolers, quite summery all around. The kids enjoyed walking the paths and seeing the sights. We kicked balls and batted birdies, rode tricycles and wooden horses. Old fashioned fun. Our neighbours, Celine & Ivo, dropped in for a beer and chat. One of the best days I've enjoyed in a long time.
