Jean came out on the train today to spend the afternoon. She brought Keith's Nobs' banner for Edinburgh. We drank tea and contemplated the vegetable garden then played Scrabble in the gazebo. We were perfectly happy - the view through each window is gorgeous and different - the summer sounds - cicadas, lawn mowers, birds - and Beatrix Potteryness are all so familiar. Then we came in and cooked turbot with red cabbage from the garden - we sauteed it with apples, red onions, mustard, Balsamic and brown sugar. We used lots of herbs from the garden too - fennel, thyme, parsley, basil - red and green- Jean sorted and chopped. We cooked together gently with a bottle of Rose. So very relaxed, normal and happy-making.
