Not every year

A quiter day than the past two!  We took Bec, Murray and Finlay to a nearby organic farm/cafe/nursery for a coffee or whatever.  The fire alarm went off as we sat down, staff informed us it was faulty, had happened before and we should relax.  Difficult to relax when there is a fire alarm going off.  That affected the kitchen and that affected the service.  Not a good experience.

The tree peony doesn't flower every year but it certainly is doing so now.  Worth the wait!
