friends for lunch

What a lovely area reminds me of my childhood visiting my aunties, bit like the darling buds of May , flowers look lovely and love the blue bell sticking out too were the flowers from your garden hope Meg enjoyed herself too, hope your guests looked after you and enjoyed them selves. Sorry to hear you ve not been well Skip hope its nothing too serious.

A beautiful garden Skip, very nice, hope you will soon feel better.

How beautiful! Hope you are feeling better...

SKIPPY!... you didn't tell me you were poorly,glad you are better and are back to form!!!!
Garden looks great and so did lunch! xx

That looks so inviting, Skip. Beautiful! Hope you feel much better soon.

What a wonderful setting to enjoy lunch with friends.

That looks so much like an Italian outdoor eating space Skip! Lovely! I do hope we get the chance to eat outdoors lots this year!

A very welcoming space, it looks great!

It looks perfect , that's how you dream summers should be , a table laden with food children running wild without a care in the world .. it's how it should be ... !

I just thought the same as Karensusan! I was going to say that you were still in France, but had just moved on to Provence! It all looks perfectly idyllic, a beautiful house in a beautiful setting, jealous? Moi?! ;0)
Hope you're feeling better!

I missed this one! The girls are right that could be Italy or France....or 'The Darling buds of May'
Beautiful place to eat Guy

thank you everyone for the wonderful comments..and good wishes..my 'illness' was short lived..a bit of man flu and tiredness so nothing too serious and nothing a rest after this day didnt put right..but thank you..

one thing i adore is entertaining, and this place is ideal..i knew i had quite a few visitors arriving on my return from France but everything went superbly..and yes its a great place to be and eat and have fun..

It felt like Italy with the sun and food and everyone enjoyed it..if i thought anyone would come I would throw a GOY summer luncheon

Thanks again everyone for their supportive comments..

Go on, go on, GoY luncheon sounds good, am sure there are a few Goyers near you....Blog it!

I agree with Lulu Skips, I think you'd be surprised, that's a very generous offer!

Are you up for it H?
There are a few Goyers in Wales...not far away! StevieT, Kasy.....Hywel.........

I will do a Goy party in return!!!

I live about 400miles away Lulu!

Maybe not then Helenium!! We must look into that Goy private jet!

Wouldn't that be handy Lulu! Lol!

Won't get me in a plane, i'd rather walk! A bomb scare was the thing that eventually put me off flying!

Yep, that would really make you think twice next time Lulu, but it's a shame really, as it means they have won!

Your luncheon table looks so inviting with its variety of chairs and amongst your plants/gravel area. Love it :)

Pleased you are fully recovered now...hope there are lots of days of sunshine for you to share your gift of hospitality this spring/summer.

Yes indeed H'ni'um, sorry to lower the tone on what really is comments on lush places to eat and party..

I don't think you lowered the tone Lulu x

And there's me wanting a balloon ride! (just to see my garden from above!)

Lulu that would be fantastic, what a veiw! You'd be able to see beyond your town/city. If you can.. go for it girl!

You would have to travel down, come hold my hand in the balloon....and then we would go have a big slap up meal and party at Skippy's home and sleep in tents!
Actually, forget the balloon ride because I am not really brave enough (From a bungee jumping girl?!)...

such a beautiful place! i love it :)
i didnt realise u were in paris same time as me!
when can i come for dinner? a nice marinated chicken with a bottle of cote du rhone would go down a treat :)

Hope we all get an invite to the next gathering! lol

Now that IS a long way from Fife! I guess you'll be tenting too!

lol NO WAY! I like my comforts!

your garden is wonderful ..

That is soooooo nice, very congenial, what a lovely place to live. well done.
