A lovely weekend visiting Elder Son and family in Surrey. Important things first: Elder Son cooked a version of his almost prize-winning chilli on Saturday and it was delicious - full of flavour and warmth but not the harsh burn - and on Sunday he made the best ratatouille I have ever tasted - probably due to the incredibly large amount of olive oil he used.
Apart from that I had a lovely time playing with the grandchildren and Toby, their puppy, who took a liking to my vivofit and kept trying to chew it on my arm.
Saturday afternoon it was a quick walk and play by the river Thames. Both grandsons wanted to take photos. Over the weekend we took 293 photos between us, some of better quality than others! I think these were all taken by GrandSon1.
Sunday we went to BirdWorld.

Then yesterday morning before leaving we went for a walk in Windsor Great Park - and it really is. It would be so easy to get lost there.

Home now and trying to get back to normal - and the diet. But no food in the house hence it was left-over tuna, beetroot and over-ripe pear for lunch. And, no, it didn't taste better than it sounds.
