cappuccino

Life is a walk in the park..

Well, yesterday morning it was, anyway. I had a lovely cappuccino, carrot cake and chat with my friend at the Imperial Park café in Windsor. The sun had kindly put his hat on which was very welcome.

Random Tuesday chat

The virus figures are going down and down (thank goodness) and everyone is out and about in the sunshine. For lunch todayContinue reading “A walk around Bray Lake on Cocktail Saturday”

For want of anything better to do, I have started a free Open University course in beginners Italian food and drink. The link to the course is here. It’sContinue reading “Cappuccino”
