Family Visit

The weather here in Bancroft has been perfect the past few days, high's of 28-29*C, blue skies and cool evenings for sleeping. We were delighted that my sister Annabelle and her husband Jack could visit and enjoy all Bancroft has to offer.

First order of business was to check out our place. Now it isn't everyone who is happy to sit in your driveway, under the shade of the canopy for a visit, but it was better than sitting in our hot trailer; we even ate supper in the driveway. Only a sister would be so gracious with such accommodations.

Time for a stroll and a walk beside the lake to cool off. No, we didn't go for a swim, but we did enjoy the view.

Back at our site the chickens kept us company wherever we went. I believe they are part dog as they follow us around and have to be at our side all the time. No, they don't bark but they sure do like to eat.

They even let Jack pick them up and pet them. Now how many chickens allow a stranger to do that? By the way, I need to check Jack's car, we are short one bird.

Time for supper and Mary had prepared one of her one pot specialties. It was fabulous! Oh, did I mention it was chicken?

Here's the pot and no we didn't raise the chickens you see in the pot. Not sure if we could do that.

Thanks for a great meal Mary ........................
and for a fabulous visit Annabelle and Jack. Next time you come we will do eggs for breakfast; although breakfast at the B&B was lovely. Thanks.
