a fun day today

I've got to get up in about 7 hours' time, to
pack up for our trip (car journey) to Leeds.
It's a short distance from here to get to the
motorway (M1), and then we just keep travelling
in more or less a straight line to Leeds. Our
daughter lives in the Horsforth area, which
is about 85 miles north of here.

I spent most of today socialising - coffee and
peppermint tea with my friend B. at Costas at
the bottom end of Friar Lane (my cappuccino
was very nice ... I like it without the
chocolate on top). This lunchtime one of our
nieces called round with her 5 week old baby
boy to see us (he looks really cute), and this
evening we had a couple of friends around for
wine, cheese and other nibbles.

We listened to a couple of CDs (compilations),
featuring an American jazz singer - Morgana
King, various Beatles CDs, and a wonderful
album called Bebel by Bebel Gilberto.

Lastly, here is a photo of a lovely clematis,
which is rambling over a garden wall not far
from our house.
