A Perfect Day

We have had no summer to speak of so far this year. But the weather became distinctly warmer mid week, and shows no signs of letting up. Yesterday was Alison's birthday, and we spent the whole day together. Unusual for a Saturday.

We had to go to Aylesbury in the morning to sort out something with the business account with the Abbey. Coming out, Alison suggested an iced coffee and cake in M&S, and that was an unexpected but enjoyable start.

We then drove to Waddesdon. There is plenty of shade in the beautiful grounds and being on a hill, just a slight breeze. We took a picnic and sat on a bench under a tree. There are not many summer days as nice.




Back late afternoon, we caught up with some of 20/20 finals day, before getting ready to go out for dinner. When we booked our favourite Italian restaurant, The Akeman, we had no idea it would be so warm, so we wondered if they had a/c. However there was no need to worry, as they had lots of tables outside. Ours was situated on some lovely decking in the courtyard that was all in the shade, there could not have been a better spot anywhere that evening. The food was as good as ever, as was the service.

Back home, we watched the end of the 20/20 final come down to the last ball. A perfect end to a perfect day.
