Happy times!

I'm a bit overdue in posting a huge THANK YOU to my gorgeous friends Kelly, Sophie and James for coming to meet me twice during their long Italian holiday last July....
Despite some sickness due to the long drive and then to the altitude, we had a lovely day in the mountains, took a cable car and reached a farm at 1.897 meters....
..We enjoyed cooler air (Summer heat has been unbearable this year), some comfort food...
..and cakes of course! :-)
How nice to be able to chat with Sophie this time, she's growing so fast!!!
Then one afternoon they came over for a BBQ, joined by Kelly's parents, cousin and Italian uncle!
Sophie had fun meeting some of our pets..and it looked like she enjoyed  her food too! Never seen a 19 months old snapping at pork ribs as she did, bless her!
A great time was had by all... no matter the language...coz my garden is "a place where friends meet", as the title of this blog says!

How wonderful, Michaela! You have the biggest heart ever. Everyone looks so happy.
I hope the heat has lost some of its strength. We're tired of our heat, too.
