Our friends (who are visiting Norfolk for a few days) are coming to dinner this evening, so this morning my wife and I drive to Lidl in North Walsham to buy food, beer and wine. My wife knocks up a spaghetti Bolognese, and a Key Lime Pie for dessert, while I split logs, fill the log basket, run the vacuum cleaner around downstairs and then light the fire.
Our friends arrive with their dog (a three year old pointer) and we take her (and our dog) to the field by the village hall to burn off some energy. We return home as daylight is fading, and have a very enjoyable evening, eating, drinking and chatting (although my voice deteriorates markedly as the evening progresses and I start to get tired).
