Today we went to Iris's for lunch. (Hi Iris). She lives in a lovely thatched cottage quite near us.
She had gone to such trouble for us, her daughter Lucy & grandaughter Molly. We had the most spectacular lunch of home grown asparagus gratin, steamed baby new potatoes, garlic & sesame baked mushrooms & gala melon. For afters there was a peach pie with thick cream....WOW.
Molly had made place names for us all. It felt so special.
For some reason when we go to Iris's I end up getting helpless with laughter.Today it was some joke about how your wee smells when you eat asparagus, and why she lets some go in the bed!!!!! (Maybe you had to be there).
Iris has the most amazing garden you could ever wish for...here are lots of photos of it...none of which really do it justice.
When we got married in July, 3 years ago she said I could come & pick any flowers I liked, so I had the most amazing bouquet of sweet peas & incredibly scented clary sage in the church (which Iris reckons smells like handsome men's underarms).
After lunch we went for a walk & spotted an amazing butterfly which Iris knew was called the cinnabar moth. An amazing colour against all the green grass in the meadow.
I think Iris is my heroine............
