Out in the sun again

The old men of the village were sheltering under the cover of the bus stop when the sun was out last month, now it's warm enough for them to return to the benches under the plane tree and at last the rain has stopped! There were more of them sitting there while I was at the butcher's van doing my shopping, but they didn't wait for me.

A busy, but fun, day cooking for this evening when friends arrive to stay for the weekend.

Edit: I've just realised this is a spring shot for the 2011 Challenge.
