On 18 August, Jackie writes: Arrived at Villa Parker at lunch time today for a lazy weekend. It was raining and I only had canvas trainers with me. We went to a nearby garden centre to buy some wellies.
We had lunch, which was nice ham salad sandwiches. I saw the Key lime pie and had to try it. It was dairy-free and very tasty; I will go back for some more another day. AD: I'm still trying to figure ut how a Key lime pie can be dairy-free, and I've never seen it with meringue, either, altho I suppose if you make my longer-version recipe, which is baked, it would work. [I made it again on 21 August, to great improvement, and I've revised the recipe accordingly, on the page linked above.]
I think it was meringue on the top and a soya cream layer, which might be why it was so green; it tasted quite citrus and not too sweet. They also do a lemon meringue pie which looked very good.
	The wellies turned into rather expensive leather shoes. But very comfy and a bit better looking. We are only up here till Sunday cos Lily has her spay operation on Monday, and we need to be home before 7 p.m. so she can have some dinner. I didn't take many pics last week; it was too hot to be outside. It's a lot cooler the week: 23C ]73.4F]; last week was 39C [102.2F]. I needed oven gloves on to open the car doors.

A WEEKEND WITH FAMILY CONTINUES HERE
