It's been a busy day on intensive care. I got home after 8pm to find my sisters and their husbands ( and my sis in law )on the field grilling sausages on a charcoal fire. We sat eating until dark fell, and blankets and rugs were dished out as the chickens wandered slowly to their beds and the owls started to hoot in the Churchyard Elms
Off to bed.....another full day at the hospital tomorrow
What a perfect evening!
ReplyDeleteLovely end to the day!
ReplyDeleteA fine time had by all, no doubt. Good to take it easy after a hectic day. Rest up for Sunday.

DeleteWhat a lovely, peaceful way to end the day.

Rare summer moments. Really nice, and remembered right through the winter.
ReplyDeleteNicely put tom..... My sister asked about you tonight....your replies amuses her
DeleteImprompt dinners are the best. Love the last shot.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda summed up the evening
DeleteHow sweet. I hope it was a total surprise, but dinner on the table can't be beat under any circumstances.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters are lovers of quilts Joanne....,,.,,,they adored the one I recieved recently
DeleteWhat a great family you have.... even nicer since they invited you to dinner ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt was a belated dinner for my sisters birthday..... And it was lovely they all came up to our house..... Because I have to lock e hens up at 10 pm. In the summer I often miss out on social occasions x

ReplyDeleteIt will be nice to remember this calm evening when the weather turns this winter and wet drps down your neck. Did anyone want to take home a hen? What happened to the re homing of the Bulldog? Hmmmmm?

Looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteA good meal with family can knock the stress of a long day right out of you. I especially like that last picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant surprise; even if you did need the blankets.

ReplyDeleteHuh?
DeleteMe and my little brother have grown up a bit, and we do not fight anymore like in childhood. It must feel nostalgic to you meeting your siblings after you all have grown to your 40s or 50s. What do you think John?
ReplyDeleteWelcomed home into the bosom of your family. A great way to end a busy day.
ReplyDeleteGood to see people enjoying the true summery weather while it lasts! And that looks like quite a feast you've got there....
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I like the thought of the chickens putting themselves to bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gathering John - but one thing springs to mind - midgies?
ReplyDeleteWhat better way to end the day?
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect evening. Warm summer brings out the best in the English...and the Welsh.
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to finish off a tough day!
ReplyDeleteRide to the rescue, John. News alert: Tiny kitten been found on London tube (District line).

DeleteAhhh, what a lovely welcome home for you! I hope the chickens got some crumbs before they headed for bed....
ReplyDeleteNancy in Iowa

DeleteWhat a lovely way to spend the evening with nature nurturing. I'm sure you slept very well that evening.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! What a lovely family you have.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gathering!
ReplyDeleteIt was iris x
DeleteOne of the things I relish about the summer is al fresco dining and sitting late into the evening with friends and family - a wonderful close to your busy day.
ReplyDeleteWe only realised last night that it seldom happens...which is a testament to our bloody awful summers recently
DeleteLovely way to end your day. Hope today was a good one for you, John. ♥
ReplyDeleteReminiscent of The Darling Buds of May, food eaten out of doors together in the beautiful sunshine.
