We had a lovely day today. Our friends Isobel and Eric came up from El Pinar. They arrived at about twelve thirty and announced themselves as meals on wheels. They brought everything required for a full outside picnic lunch of hamburgers, rolls, onions and mushrooms, including two disposable barbeques. Together with some wine and beer this all went down very well. Thank you both for your kindness and forethought.
After lunch we held a boules competition. Modesty prevents me from disclosing whom the winners were but the Yorkshire/Taberno flag flew higher than the Lancashire/El Pinar flag. There was a suggestion from a certain Lancastrian that as we were on home ground we had an advantage. Whilst this was hotly denied, it was felt that a return match at El Pinar, sometime in the near future, would put pay to such comments ;-)))
Another super sunny day with the temperature in the high twenties. Fancy getting sun burnt at the end of October.

Why let the truth get in the way of a good story ;-)
