It turns out that the visit arrangements were made some time ago. We only registered 'late September' but then we are old folk! No matter, this house is so much easier to get ready for visitors. Just a shame about the continual rain.
They took these photos down at Saunton. As Sally said it makes a difference wearing a winter wetsuit rather than a summer shortie.
I declined their invitation to go with them and instead stayed at home to make a meringue roulade. I used the same recipe and used parchment paper rather than the silicone sheet but even though the top of the meringue was golden and firm when I added the lemon curd, cream and raspberries and rolled it up the underside of the meringue was still sticky. The trimmed off ends have already been eaten and pronounced delicious but I would like to get it right. Oh dear, that means I'll have to have another try, what a hardship.
We're planning an early supper so we can head off to watch the carnival and fireworks and maybe even visit the fair depending on how wet we get.
