Good Friday our friends were due but had a last minute change of plan to Saturday morning - SO Nick and I find ourselves with a spotless clean home (free of kids stuff "evicted" out to sheds) and go to Lidl then Waitrose for a spot of shopping
First, some Roses just inside the doors ... for the table
then, a real treat, my Favourite Red Wine - well it was on special offer and it is Easter Holiday weekend
Having unpacked the shopping and filed it, we decided to go to the local Farm Shop for lunch - Nick drove and I took a Power Walk. Along the way I had to stop for ...Bluebells
We sat outside on the decking in the sun, just enjoying the quiet and sipping our respective coffee and tea, observing people arriving and leaving and their food orders - waiting for ours. Nick had ordered on arrival for both of us
After a couple joined parents and their 10 minutes ago order arrived we asked
We should have asked sooner - our order had been "lost" 
We cancelled it and left making for the Butchers where we purchased some nice thin, Rib Eye Steaks 
The Cafe' manager came after us saying "so sorry, we are so busy ; ..." I said "thanks, we dont actually care how busy YOU are we waited an hour for lunch" ! We were both, by now STARVING having enjoyed the aromas from everyone else s plates as they passed by us ... and I left Nick paying for the Steaks and went on my return home Power Walk home
I had to stop for this Bee - it made my day I should have changed the focal point 
... next Bee and the Pussy Willow
Arriving home, I captured the breath taking Apple Blossom a Promise of things to come in July or August, round and red
Our three Red Tulips are out - each year the outer is paler than the previous year, but they always bring a smile
Nick cooked the steaks, for he is far better than I at these and we sat at the table to eat
Have I said "I lurve the 60m Macro"
with the delicious special day red wine
and the Roses centre piece - Happy Easter Weekend one and all
