Wonderful friends, cold weather, great food and clean clothes!

Today was another cold day. This time, with a bit of rain. We are going to put off going on the Yorkshire Moors railway until JackL, Eve and Kay can come with us. Today was a grocery shopping day with Mrs. Kay and Len, to get food for the big Easter celebration at Mrs. Kay’s house.  Kay, Len, the Langstaffs and the Arnolds will be there. Kay and Len actually wanted to ride in Dru’s car, even though she was driving. It was good for her, because Mrs. Kay sat in the front seat and gave helpful hints, such as, “Give way on the right- and then give a small wave of your hand, without moving it from the steering wheel, so the other person knows you are giving way. ” We set off about 1200, after hanging out Jack and Dru’s now clean clothing.

First stop was Sainsbury’s. Kay had been making her list out for days, and it was long. Jack and Len stopped to look at the car magazines. They had been chattering happily in the back seat about cars and airplanes, both subjects of great interest to them both.

Mrs. Kay did not find any desserts to her fancy, so next we stopped at Marks and Spencers, where she picked up 2 Key Lime Pies, and a Creme Brulee with wild blueberries. Back home, Kay and Len assembled an Old El Paso Chicken Enchilada kit.  Jack reported he had has these when he was in Australia and stated they were delicious. Dru put together the salad of leafy greens, with French dressing, and we sat down to lunch. Very excellent. 

For dessert, we had Hot Cross Buns with butter, and cups of tea for Jack and Dru, coffee for Kay and Len.

By the time the second load of clothes was dry, it was 1715. Jack and Dru headed back to the hotel with clean clothes, Mrs. Kay was going to take a bit of a nap, and then go to her niece Emma’s house, to visit with the Langstaffs, who were on their way from Cambridge. They had arrived from Australia last night.
