It is a curious thing.
I seem to remember while growing up--that most if not almost all social interaction went on in people's homes. My childhood homes, friends homes--you did not go out--nobody had money to go out--you went to other people's homes. And they came to ours. Just to talk. For a piece of pie maybe. For in impromptu dinner. Just easy catching up. Sometimes just sitting on the porch. Lovely afternoons.
Happily on our recent trip to Spain--we spent several lunches enjoying Other People's Houses.
Please enjoy some pictures of a delightful very English house--but it is nestled in the hills around the Costa Del Sol in southern Spain. Gardens-great wine-antiques-fine food--and lots of spring sunshine.
Dining Room inside.
Dining patio outside--our choice.
Front of house.
Back of house.
Lemons of course--we are in Spain.
Back garden swing.
Beautiful table.
Need I say more.
Still do not need to say anything. Wine produced by hosts.
Fresh Eton Mess for dessert--FABULOUS.
English sporting antiques in one of the bathrooms.
Host.
What a day in somebody else's home.
