Tea for two

I haven't seen my friend Jane for a few months now despite the fact that by car she lives about four minutes away!

I am busy here & there, and she has two lovely young boys Josh & Roo (and a surprisingly helpful hubby!), Matt who runs a landscaping business Castle Acre & a beautiful old fashioned plant nursery "GROW". So we do not have cause to bump into each other even at the supermarket (which I hate, but we do not have an abundance of nice individual shops here, that moan can wait for another day!), as Jane has hers delivered by a rather upmarket one! We did go swimming together once a week but I can't face it in this cold damp weather, Jane how ever continues, making me feel more guilty/unfit/fat etc.... oh well another jumper will cover the muffin top!

At the start of the week she prompted me to come out of my self-induced "communication blackspot", so I invited her around for tea this morning after swimming, (I couldn't go as I am painting tables....mmm?!)

ready for tea & mince pies

Flo, desperately under nourished waits for a crumb!

The tea table was set & kettle boiled, and then the text that she had run out of time (as mums do), so I called my mum who came over for tea & one of the mince pies that she had donated in the first place! Mum has now gone home to continue re-vamping a chandelier, our new enterprise which will be appearing soon, and I am off to continue painting.......

Whilst listening to R2 this morning I heard George Michaels song for Christmas (as usual I have forgotten the name) and one by Chris Rea (it had heaven in the title) the first being lovely, the second being thought provoking, try & find them and listen to them...........
