Pre-Easter Gathering 2014

We 295-20140413aa.JPGhad a family gathering a week before Easter.  With the exception of Jon, who was working in Florida, all of the UK based children and grandchildren came for lunch.  Rosie impressed with her ‘reading’ before we enjoyed a lovely lunch all sitting at the dining table.  The weather was good and we enjoyed playing a new garden game called Smite after lunch.  Strictly for adults, Smite involves throwing a lump of wood at wooden pins with the guile and viciousness of croquet!

A fun visit and thanks to everyone for coming.
