Garden Party

We went to a very smart urbanisation a short distance inland from Casares Beach to visit Jaq's friends Julie and Ian.

It was clear when we arrived about 7:30 that our hosts and the other guest had started a little while earlier. 11:45 apparently.

After a great deal of chatting and a few vinos round the pool, we repaired to their terrace for more of the same. Supper, of cold chicken and salad, seemed to be taking a very long time to prepare and it was well after 9:30 when we eventually sat down. After dinner, we went back outside for more chat over coffee, whereupon our host fell asleep.

But it didn't matter at all. The conversation was fun and humorous and we laughed a great deal for a long time.

When we left around midnight, I felt as though I had known them all for years.
