Good friends Bridget and Des called in for lunch with their children Malky and River. They were visiting from their holiday home in Looe, south Cornwall. We enjoyed their company at Golithia Falls on Bodmin moor on Tuesday.
Their golden Labrador Luna stayed at home with Bridget’s parents Malcolm and Jenifer! I like Bridget’s father Malcolm a lot! He is a Methodist Minister and used to be the Chaplin to the UK’s Houses of Parliament!
A very wise man and fun to boot! Not being particularly religious, I’m a bit more of a tree hugging pagan I guess. This does not mean that I do not regard and respect other people’s religion or beliefs.
So, I know I did ‘Daddy and Dadda’s Dinner’ yesterday, but I would like to add today’s lunch as picture of the day! Salmon, Shrimp, langostine, new potatoes, zucchini and samfire was enjoyed by us grownups and the children enjoyed spaghetti with 3 hour simmered bolognese with a snowstorm of parmesan.
After lunch an hour was enjoyed in the surf with the bodyboards. I remained at the holiday house and enjoyed an hours respite. Daddy then went off to do a lengthy zoom call with a client and we all said our goodbyes at 4pm.
Tomorrow being our last full day, I imagine one final frolic on the beach whatever the weather!
Pretty grey out there today, but an enjoyable day none the less. This picture taken in a fleeting moment of blue sky.
Aaliyah presently screaming as they debate where each of them are sleeping tonight…
Spaghetti Puttanesca for Daddy and Dadda’s Dinner. A break from fish! Lol
Hope you are having a good time wherever you are and my thanks as ever for taking the time to read my blog, diaryofagaydad.net
Oh Amritsar and Thor have adopted a rather large snail called ‘Biggy’ that they found in the garden this afternoon. Don’t worry, I made them all wash their hands before they ate this evening!
Even a little snail garden was created! Hehe…

I know you have your hands full with five kids but when they get older, you should think about getting into catering. You have a gift with cuisine!
And is it bad that I asked myself how you were going to prepare that snail into a meal? 🤣
