Afternoon with friends

Today was another lovely sunny day. Perfect for an afternoon spent with friends and good food.

It was a chance to catch up with our Portuguese friends Alex, Christina, Ricardo, and little Pedro - only two weeks old. Merrilyn again prepared a wonderful array of morsels which we enjoyed on in the garden out front of the apartment.

James and Ricardo enjoyed football (well - soccer). Alex and I couldn't help but join in. Little Ricardo just loves his football and he has quite a skill. James as much enjoyed chasing the ball as kicking.

Alex has recently taken a new job that sees him as President of EMEA. He'll be spending even more time travelling away from his family. So with the arrival of Pedro they have made the decision that the family will move back to their home in Portugal. Alex will still have an apartment somewhere near Marlow where his HQ is located. But we will all miss them very much. We have enjoyed their warm friendship.

Christina and Merrilyn are already planning a possible visit. After all - Portugal is only a few hours away. And who wouldn't want to spend a week with friends by the beach?
