Vanessa's eggs

Today's the day ……………………. for a home delivery

Back in the middle of summer sometime, we were doing something in the garden when a car pulled in through the front gate.  Out got a lady, that we didn't know.  She came over to us and told us that she just had to come and tell us how much she liked what we had done to the garden since we had arrived.  How nice was that?

She was a keen gardener herself - so we gave her a tour.  And before long we felt as if we had known her for ever.  Her name was Vanessa and she lived not far away - in a cottage that she and her family had not long moved into themselves.  Over the months, we saw her from time to time and have become good friends.  We were invited to their annual Bonfire Party last month - which was brilliant, with lots of people and good food as well as the big bonfire.

She keeps hens - and every week on a Monday, she delivers half a dozen eggs for us.  They are so fresh and we love to have them.  Thank goodness, she decided to call on impulse, all those months ago …………………!
