Monday is family dinner day and today we had a few more family members at the table. Actually, that's not true as our current table only seats six so we had a buffet supper and ate outside. I made two cheese and onion pies, a tagliatelle and tuna bake and roasted a chicken. We ate whatever we wanted of that with rolls and salad. For dessert I made Evie's favourite, a steamed chocolate pudding and an apple crumble with some of the Katy apples. We need to get those used up before the wasps finish them off.
After dinner, Martha and Evie dressed Bert's hair in pigtails and yellow daisies. He was rather impressed with the results. It was unfortunate that Hector and the nephew, over to feed their cattle, turned up as Bert was crossing the yard to see to Rusty and Lily. Hector gave him a cheery wave. What else could Bert do but wave back?
