A great visit, a great few days

My friends Deb and Sharon and Riley and Taleah have gone home.
We had a great time.

We saw kingfishers and cormorants, otters and eagles, osprey and oystercatchers and starfish and swans.

We enjoyed all the bright colours of tulips and apple blossoms and primroses and pansies and blue sky and blue-green bays and the beautiful green of new growth on trees.

We laughed and we talked and we ate and we walked and we drank and we snoozed and we toured and we just breathed in the wonderful sea air and gazed at the water.

And the dogs walked and barked and played and snoozed and traded beds and cuddled, then walked and barked and snoozed some more.

And of course, we took pictures. Hundreds of pictures.

These are just a few teasers. More will follow in the next few days.

Thanks for coming, my friends. Come back again soon!

Thank you Jean, and Charley and Sadie, for your warm welcome and hospitality!

We loved Crofton. We loved Osborne Bay. We loved our day trip on sunny and warm Wednesday, where you took us to many wonderful places, Jean.

We left happy and tired, full of good conversation and companionship, food, drink, and most of all - memories of a good time with friends.

Thank you Jean for everything, we will be back soon!

Sharon and Taleah

What a lovely post. (I'm always saying that on your blog!) I could feel the laughter and warmth. Make me miss my good friends.
