<p class="has-drop-cap">It had been a long time since the "family" had got together because of Covid restrictions. We agreed to meet at <a href="https://www.visiteaston.co.uk/whats-here/the-gardens/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Easton Walled Garden</a> close to Grantham. The gardens were serving tea/coffee and cakes but not lunch so we all took picnics.</p>

<p>The weather stayed kind to us and after a coffee, sitting outside, we wandered the grounds inspecting flowers and border design where vegetables and flowers mingled together.</p>

<p>We managed to eat our picnics while the clouds were building and we managed another quick walk around after more coffee before it did start to rain. A good time was had by all.</p>
