今日は夫の弟の奥さんとちょっと前に遊びに来てくれた姪っ子が近くを通るということで、お昼頃に寄ってくれました。遅い朝食だったそうなのでお腹は空いていないとのことでしたが、木曜日に作ったオレンジケーキを少しだけ押し付けました（笑）。義妹は忙しい様子でしばらく会えていなかったので久しぶりに会えて嬉しかったですし、姪っ子とはまた会えて嬉しかったです。あれこれおしゃべりしていると、あっという間に時間が経ちました。こうして時々会える距離に家族がいるのは、とても有難い。香港でもシンガポールでもなかったこと。

My husband’s brother’s wife and her niece (who stayed with us a few weeks ago) were going to be driving near us so stopped at ours for tea around lunch time.  They had stayed last night at a hotel and had had a late big breakfast so they were still quite full but I made them have a little bit of the orange cake that I made on Thursday at the French Baking Class.  My sister-in-law has been busy and we hadn’t seen her for a little while so it was lovely to see her and of course it was lovely to see our niece so soon as well!  An hour and a half or so went fast while we were chatting.  It really is lovely that we have some families close enough from us and being able to see them, we weren’t able to do this in Hong Kong or Singapore.

夕食の後、夫と２人で残りを半分ずつ食べたので、木曜日に作ったケーキとデザートはこれで完食しました。

We had what was left of the cake after dinner, so we have now finished everything that I made at the class on Thursday.
