Before I set off on my latest adventure, of course I crawled out of bed and went for my walk ...... and I am so glad I did, or the foal wouldn't have popped his head over the gate to say hello
and this Jacobs' ewe wouldn't have sat and looked pretty while I snapped her
After breakfast, we set of for Morpeth .... but not just to see Jennifer! After picking Jennifer up, Malcolm dropped us off to meet up with one of my blogging friends .... Rachel. I told Rachel she would recognise us, as thanks to our hairdressers, I am very blond and Jennifer is very dark!! First we went for a cuppa (of course!), then we had a leisurely stroll along the river in the sunshine, before heading to a lovely Italian restaurant for lunch. It was pizzas all round - I had a Messicana, with lovely spicy chilli
Jennifer got appointed portrait photographer, as Rachel and I posed prettily for her
I took a fabric gift bag with a china mug in it for Rachel ....... I forget to take a photo of it. But that wasn't quite as bad as Rachel, who left her present for me at home in her fridge!! But she has sent me a photo - delicious chocolate mocha cupcakes!!
We will just have to meet again so she can make some more!! And to round off our fun day, we finished with a spot of shopping in Marks and Spencers' sale!!
ps - Malcolm had a lovely lunch in a garden centre, then he had a walk on the beach and picked up lots of bits of driftwood - I think he already has plans for using it!!
