Frances’s friend David arrived at the same time as Jacqueline and Elizabeth delivering our sister-in-law.
There followed one of those enjoyable and occasionally embarrassing conversations where one person’s story sparks off another’s and snowballs ad infinitum.
One of mine appears in the following post:
My sisters stayed on for lunch after Frances and David left to drive back to Swindon. The apples from our garden appear by special request from Sheree.
Today’s title is taken from Frances’s title for the e-mail in which she sent me the two portraits in the first gallery above.
This evening we dined on breaded chicken in Katsu curry sauce; Jackie’s flavoursome vegetable rise; firm Cauliflower and carrots, with which I drank Beefsteak Club Mendoza Malbec which Elizabeth had brought.
The salad and bread look yummy! Have a great new week, you two! 😊
Your lunch spread and table setting look very appealing — as do the apples!
Thank you very much, Donna
Lovely moments!

If that’s the Sly and the Family Stone song I am thinking about, great title. I love the pictures.
Thank you very much, Pat. The credit is entirely Frances’s
You had a good story to tell.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
This sounds like a perfect family day. The apples look delicious (excuse the golden pun) 😁
Time with family is precious! Enjoy every moment.

It sounds (and looks) like such a lovely day. Beautiful portraits and table photos.
There was a time glitch when I went back to your old post, and I commented twice. 😉

Thank you for sharing your lovely day with us. Such an inviting table! I also see a caprese salad. My mother-in-law introduced me to it, having it on every holiday table or family get-together.
Much appreciated, Rose. Although Jackie often makes it, neither of us knew the name
A lovely day and beautiful apples 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
