Visitors!

Monday was the last day of the hot spell. We ended up not doing anything that day... it was cooler to stay in the house, and really too hot to take the dogs for a walk of any length, although we did get them out for decent local walks in the morning and evening when things were cooler.

Yesterday, we had two sets of friends visit!

Long time readers might remember Aly and Martin. We first met them in February of 2022 in Turkiye, and we saw them again last year when we were visited them at their home here in England near York.

They drove up for a visit yesterday, and took us for lunch in the nearby town of Yarm.

High street in Yarm, England.

Pretty little alleyway.

Lunch at the pub.

Kevin, Ruth, Aly, Martin.

Ruth had the jacket potato.

I had the sausage and mashed potato.

It was a lunchtime special, so the meals were only about £10 ($18.70 CAD, $13.70 USD) each with a wine or beer included. Not bad value!

Then Helen and Tony arrived with their motorhome late afternoon. We'll spend today and tomorrow with them.

And bad news... we received a note this morning that our hosts are returning early because she had a mishap with her bicycle and has fractured her wrist. So they will be coming back tomorrow evening. Fortunately, it's a big house, and they've said that we should stay and not change our plans.
