Last of the Summer Wine?

I found it difficult to wake this morning and eventually Sara went downstairs to cook pancakes for us all. I hoisted the Yorkshire flag to mark nephew James's 9th birthday - he was born in York. Attended an excellent All Age Eucharist Service presided over by Elizabeth which included a sermon/talk in which she scattered bread all over the floor. The essence of the sermon being "what do we hunger for?" with the emphasis being that we should allow God to provide us with everything and not to worry about such trivia as how we are to be fed physically. Back home, Sara provided a light lunch of pitta bread and humus and cottage cheese. The children ate pasta and cheese (Mary) and pasta and pesto (Tom). This afternoon I mowed the bank and the back lawn and Mary spent the afternoon with Sarah and Molly at Queen Elizabeth Park. I had a bath after the gardening and then prepared supper - roast crackling pork with roast potatoes, apple sauce, and a variety of vegetables. All washed down with a nice Californian red wine. We invited Molly and Sarah to join us and as well as Samuel. The Alibocus girls were invited to have a sleep over with Mary and Tom was to go over to the Alibocuses for a sleep over there. I popped over to the Alibocuses a short while later and Klynn and I went over to the Lion's Head where we were joined by Richard. We played a few hands of knockout whist and rummy before spending the rest of the evening discussing parenthood and retirement! As the three of us discussed these topics I was reminded of the Last of the Summer Wine ... but he is going to be Compo?
