Perfect day?

After a long slow morning, Jackie and I drove to the Cross Keys pub for lunch at Gustard’s Wood, and then went on to Woolmer Green for the AGM of the Hertfordshire Family History Society, then we dropped in at Lessiter’s chocolate factory before returning home. Everywhere, countryside and gardens looked magnificent: wisteria, apple and cherry blossom, magnolia, rhododendron, and such wonderful blue bells ….

At home, we sat in the garden and I finished reading Julian Barnes’s England, England. I tried to enjoy this, but it seemed that Mr Barnes wasn't quite willing to meet me half way on this. So not quite a perfect day, then.
