Visit by Auntie Jude and Craig

With Jude and Craig

We weren't down for too long though on Monday as Auntie Jude and Craig arrived before lunch for a quick visit - hurray!  As usual, Craig was straight down on the floor, helping Tom with his new Lego kit, and they made a very fine-looking fire engine in no time.  They arrived in time for lunch so I got out the leftovers (i.e. cheese, pork pie etc etc - all my favourites).  After lunch we headed out to Austwick to do the Oxenber Woods walk - this is a favourite of ours, it includes a small hill which gives a great view of farm land and a stream.  What isn't there to like?  The weather wasn't as good as previous days but it was kind to us in that it cleared just as we got to the view.

Scrawny neck

We were hoping to have a drink afterwards at the Game Cock, but it was closed until 5pm and it was 3pm.  Bum.  Oh well, we went to the (very posh) New Inn in Clapham instead, then came home and had a Japanese beef stew, which seemed to go down well with everyone.  We had a quiet evening in, watching a documentary about Barry Sheene.
