Recipe to a great national holiday:

1. Wake at 6.30am to run & play tennis with great friends

2. Change picnic plans to Jones the Grocer when it rains.

Order French Earl Grey Tea, Sourdough toast with Scramble Eggs

Add an avocado and mushrooms as sides

And a Scone with Raspberry Jam and Butter

One of my childhood friends - fen 

3. Receive a present that shows a photo of 3 of us at 12 years old.
