It is nice to be home for the summer. The wisteria and irises - my favourites - are in full bloom and the temperature, in the low 20s, is just right for a day's outing.
We've been trying to find some nice restaurants in Surrey for some time and eventually discovered one that serves food of a reasonable standard and price, and with decent service. So it was a delight to have Sunday lunch with friends at Kingham's at Shere, a charming little village in Surrey. The rooms in the restaurant are quite small and a bit claustrophobic with low beams. Thankfully, the other diners, mostly families celebrating birthdays, were perfectly civilized and kept noise to a minimum. After dining at far too many gastro pubs, it was a nice change to see crisp white linen on the table together with white linen napkins.
And here's a haiku to close:

| Roast pork with rosti and cubed apples |

| Treacle tart with pineapple dipped in ginger sauce |

Sun drenched summer blooms
Cloudscape on the canvas sky
Sweet symbiosis
