We've just returned from the Easter long weekend at our house in Southampton (which, for those who don't know, is on Long Island, in NY). We decided, because of the four day weekend, that we would leave Thursday evening and return tonight, Monday.
I awoke to the smell of bacon and scrambled eggs wafting from the kitchen to my bedroom. I quickly set the table and we had a lovely sit-down breakfast.
Then it was off to town on our bicycles...
... the weather there was lovely.
We returned home and decided to drive the rig to the beach.
Where we walked.
We saw a seagull that wouldn't move no matter how close we got, an odd reminder of the play I've just finished reading; Anton Chekhov's masterpiece, 'The Seagull.'
The beach in the Hamptons stretches all the way to Montauk (also known as 'the end of the Earth' for obvious reasons) and doubles back. We walked for a long time, but it began to get dark, so we returned to the house...
... just in time for some champagne and a shrimp cocktail; very Long Island.
Then we had a Frisée salad with poached quail's eggs...
... a rack of lamb with a mustard-thyme crust (delicious!)...
... and finally a lemon-coconut cake for dessert, which we ate while watching 'Taken' on our new Blu-Ray player.
