Lunch in Bristol

On my way back from Somerset I'd arranged to visit my dear friend Pip for lunch by his fair hand. We were immediately sucked into the Hacking committee meetings so didn't do anything more exciting. In a tea break, we went out to breath the air in their lovely garden, which is thriving with flowers and fruits. He proudly showed me the new Bamboo shoots that have survived the hard winter much to his surprise.

His son Louis surfaced late after a heavy night out and I saw them going into the house at one point with their arms around each other. Louis is back from travels and working again locally, so it was good to see him, but I know Pip and Mary are even happier
