Saturday

I overslept this morning and didn't want to take the dogs out. I was feeling lazy. But after breakfast the sun was shining and I felt a bit guilty so we went out. We didn't do a very long walk though because I found out from some other dog walkers that the hunt was headed our way and that's the last thing we wanted to get caught up in. They had a good run around though.

The village church had a photo competition and WWI centenary exhibition. Refreshments and cake were provided by the WI. Crafts and home made jams and marmalade were for sale. I helped out on the cake stall for the first hour.

  
My WI group made hession banners with poppies and labels on them. Each label had the name of a soldier from the village who died in the war.

It was very sad, so many of the men were just young boys, and some families in the village lost two or more sons.


Later in the afternoon I took my daughter to Calenzo's for afternoon tea as part of her birthday celebration.

It was absolutely delicious, starting with salmon and cream cheese bagels, the most delicious sausage rolls I have ever tasted and triangles of pizza sandwiches. Followed by plain and fruit scones with cream and jam, mini chocolate cakes, and New York cheesecakes. Accompanied with glasses of Prosecco and coffee to finish. The restaurant is lovely with nice spacious booths. 
We did a little bit of shopping afterwards and then home.

My grandson's team lost their basketball match, they were winning until extra time when the other team scored 7 points.
