After a long day...

Well. That’s it! We’ve said farewell to the longest day. Our Summer Solstice bash last night gave it a good send off. No plates: no formalities, as canapés flew out of our kitchen and round the assorted revellers. Mrs H prepared the fare well in the kitchen, but the sun shone when she came out to see the light and the guests.

On the lower terrace a group of wives laughed and sipped wine. All very correct.

On the upper terrace, the men also laughed... rather less correctly.

Sadly no Druids, but we fared well and drank lots of fluids...
