Sunday 2nd Sept 2006

England so recently dry and hot in July has had the coolest, wettest August so we can only hope that September improves. A warmer end to the year with enough time to enjoy some alfresco sunny days and evenings with a Mediterranean salad, glass of wine and a cigarette (before they ban that everywhere too.) But don’t get me started on that. For to me eating outdoors with people that we care about is one of the nicest pleasures. The smallest garden, yards or terraces suddenly become hospitable places. Pity it has to end with the onset of autumn and the retreat back indoors to sit out the winter.
