Even the sun shone for us. It was a perfect summer evening, snatched from a disappointing summer.
He arrived promptly, wearing his trademark pink shirt and carrying a bottle of red wine. We sat in the orchard for a while, drinking white wine Kirs, enjoying the late sunshine under the plum tree as the Chicken Cacciatora bubbled gently on the stove and we took it in turns to give it a stir from time to time. Somehow new potatoes and green beans cooked themselves and supper was ready.
We moved to the conservatory, lit the candles and opened his bottle of red wine. The food was delicious, we talked and laughed, then later kissed and cuddled, watching the bats flitting in and out of their nest in the eaves above the conservatory. It was a truly magical evening and I just want to hold onto that feeling.
O-o-o-oh......... I do hope so!
ReplyDeleteIt's romance city over here. More sex please, we're British.

How did he know you liked his pink shirt ! Thats what I call sinthony :) It sounded a lovely dat - even with the bats, I'd be running out of there in a second, lol - and I sincerely hopes there will be lots of them and other nights to come :) Good luck !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely thoughts wending my way. I think this is going to be a good summer Secretary. Hope yours is, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a country girl Agape. Bats don't really bother me, although I'm not too happy if they are in the room with me. I once had to put one out after one of my cats brought it down, so got up close and personal. They are fascinating creatures. It recovered, thankfully. Their nest is beside my bedroom and I can hear them rustling all night long.
Lovely to see you back PITK. Will pop round asap to see what you are up to. Glad you enjoyed the posts - the things I have to do to keep you guys entertained!
