Of canals and frozen ponytails

sawylSomething of a mixed day today. We'd arranged to meet up some friends — including J and her husband, who were over from Connecticut for a week — at The Boot at 11:30 for a walk and a long lunch. Unfortunately, just as we were about to leave, we had a huge screaming row about our imminent tardiness and almost didn't go.
In the end we did go and, once we'd arrived only a few minutes late, we had a nice time walking along the frozen canals to Packwood and then back to Lapworth. Along the way, I had a nice chat to J about parental foibles and the fact that she was still frustrated by some of the things her parents did cheered me up greatly. The lunch was upto the usual reliably good standards: I had a supremely nice peach and spinach tart starter and a elegant goat's cheese and thyme risotto main. More than enough to make up for the bad start to the day.
