Post Lockdown Sunday Lunch

It was a lovely day yesterday. Then sun shone. It was pleasantly warm. We were in Mount Martha. And Freyja and Simon came for a late lunch, after Freyja finished work.

The view from Stella's house, first thing in the morning:




She lives in a leafy retirement village, a stone's throw from the bay. She is fortunate in that she has lovely neighbours who look out for her.

Jim and Stella had their usual kippers for breakfast and then passed a quiet Sunday morning while we waited for Freyja and Simon to come on their first proper trip out since the very beginning of August.


Waiting for visitors:



They're here!



Lunch time!



We had cheesy pasta for lunch. I had a vegan cheezy pasta mix that I got at The Source for Freyja, and I made a cheese sauce with parpadelle for the rest of us. I also made a large salad with leafy greens, tomato, cucumber, snow peas and mango. I divided it into two bowls and put bacon on top of one, which Jim would eat, and avocado on top of the other which Freyja and Simon would eat. Stella and I would eat both of them!

Freyja finally got her birthday present!

It was a good day.
