More barbecue and paddling pool

[ailbhe]

Janice and Emma came over yesterday afternoon / evening and Emma and I changed into swimsuits and sat in the paddling pool getting cooler. Then Emma popped corn on the barbecue and cooked dinner for us. We ate a lot of cheese. On Saturday, Rob and I bought cold pies and cold cut meat at Sweeneys, and cheese and cider at the County Stores delicatessen. On Saturday and Sunday, we ate them. Yum. Wensleydale, Gloucester, Red Leicester, Gubbeen, and Emmental.

The cider was pretty good, too, and the bottle it came in is nice. Sitting around in the dusk in a damp swimsuit was nice too; not very English-feeling. This weather is odd.
