Next to their house was the biggest pepper garden I had ever seen. Tom promptly offered me as many as I wanted, so I let him pick some out for me. Jalapenos and habaneros galore, I was in heaven. In front of their house was a garden area, which consisted mainly of rose moss.
Outside, a climbing tree stood regally next to a field, and kittens ran amuck, hiding from our eager hands. Inside, Deb had been working for the past two days, preparing the most delicious, home-made meal I had eaten in a long time. Beef Wellington and gravy, corn and peas cooked with herbs, cubed potatoes, fresh steamed spinach, pickled cucumbers, mango green tea, lemon balm lemonade, and lastly, the show-stopper, home-made brownies, with ice cream topped with home-made chocolate sauce (who knew such a thing was possible?).
Needless to say, it was delightful time, and I hope we get invited back soon.
