Ichinomiya

Another quiet start to the day. Kaori went to work. Austin went to the gym. Tatsuki, Lindsey and I watched TV, messed about on the internet, pottered around.

Then we hopped in the car and went out to the tower at Ichinomiya. I have been there once before, in 2016, when Jim and I were here during January. It was decked out in New Year lights and fun, winter activities for the children. This time it was bathed in warm, spring sunshine. We sat outside for our lunch and then went up the tower, 100m,  to admire the view. We didn't go up in 2016.

And 2023:









Lindsey has bought Austin and Kaori an air fryer as a thank you for having us present. It arrived yesterday afternoon and they used it to prepare the chips for dinner. We had the chips with salmon and vegetables. Oh, and a bottle of locally made wine which they gave us as a thank you for coming to stay present. It was very tasty. There's another one for tonight :-)
