There aren't too many owls in the town centre nowadays, but you may spot them in nearby Holt Country Park. We went up to Holt to meet my dear blogfriend Kezzie and her husband. We had a lovely lunch together in the Owl Tea Rooms.
It was such fun to chat together in person. The husbands got on well too. I'm always anxious before I meet up with a blogfriend that our "other halves" might be bored. I am so grateful that this hasn't ever happened.
Kezzie has been a good friend for a long time - when I was running 'Grandma's Nursery for Rosie in lockdown, she sent me some great ideas for music lessons. When cousin Gill died, she came over to Romford and took me out for a much needed coffee break. And I love being involved in helping construct her Whovian Cosplay outfits.Thank you K&C for a super time together, and a great lunch. It was kind of you both to take time out from your family holiday to connect.

Then we all put on our hats, ready to leave, and decided we needed a 'hat-pic' too!





How lovely to see a photo of Kezzie (and you, of course)!

DeleteWe live in the centre of Cheltenham with a small garden but are surrounded by bigger , wooded gardens. We often hear owls in the dead of night (if awake) and feel so privileged. By the way, thank you for the tip about the two guitarists, we managed to get tickets, sublime!

DeleteI was out walking in the woods one day and a very large barred owl was right overhead and flew away. Unfortunately, I couldn't snap a clear photo because of all of the foliage. I love owls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sight
DeleteSo nice to meet with blog friends, they become 'real' people!
ReplyDeleteYes they do, very special friends π©΅
DeleteSuch happy photos, I found myself smiling as I looked at you all. JanF

DeleteWhat lovely photos of you, Kezzie and your other halves. Sorry for the late reply but blogger wouldn’t let me in earlier. I had to fill in a code and now I’m here-hurray!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your perseverance.
DeleteWhat lovely photos of the four of you, it looks like you had a lovely meet up. I used to collect owls, but like a lot of collections once people found out that I did, I was inundated with all sorts of random owl things, so that had to stop.
ReplyDeleteAnd where would they all live in the new place?
DeleteLovely photos of you all. Its always nice to meet friends. Xx
ReplyDeleteYes it is. Always glad to see old friends
DeleteDidn't know anything about Owls Day etc. Interesting. How nice you had such a good lunch with your blogging friend. It's been a good number of years since I've met in person with someone I knew from the internet; but I always found it to be fun.
ReplyDeleteLots of people visit Norfolk for holidays, which helps
DeleteLovely to see a picture of all of you together. :)
ReplyDeleteThe air fare is a bit of an issue, otherwise I'd pop over to see you next week, Bless!!!!
DeleteIt was a lovely day and I was so happy to see you again! Also, I didn't say it at the time but I loved your dress! It looked so cool for the sunny day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kezzie!
DeleteHow lovely to meet up with Kezzie and CBC. It looks like a good time was had by all. I love hearing our Scops owl in the village after the rain (not that we've had much of that)
ReplyDeleteHope you're not troubled by wildfires π₯ where you are FD
