Pam, Graham and Kate arrived at lunchtime for their overnight visit and we had a very pleasant time, with lunch on the patio and the two girls being very sweet. Later Gail and Dave came for a couple of hours too, and we migrated from the garden to the house and back as the weather warmed up and cooled down on and off. Impetuously, I decided to get Nick's tent out of storage in the damp basement for an airing, and pitched it out in the back garden. Emily and Fern immediately claimed it as a new play venue and transferred their toys in there.
However, after they had retired it came into its own as Kate's accommodation for the night, there being no room at the inn, and it sounded as though it was a good alternative to the sofa.
Leaving Emily in Pam's care, Graham and I went for a pre-dinner run from the bottom of the lane. I amended my recent route to take in a little off-road section on the Offa's Dyke path, crossing the railway, which I thought would tickle Graham. I found the pace a bit quicker than my usual speed and was very tired afterwards and achy the next day.
