Lunch in the garden: a warm welcome


A wonderful afternoon (and lunch), and to say that a few weeks ago we did not know each other!

We met in Greenwich park, where she was walking her small dog, Pipa, and I was with my great-daughter anniversary party.

If I would not have asked that interesting lady of certain age and great intelligence for a photo, we would have never met. She was the one who detected my Hungarian accent, as it is also her mother language. Both of us did not speak it for a long time.

And we do have so much to tell each other!

We have sometimes difficulty to find the right words in Hungarian, but what a joy! And what a great hostess she is too! Difficult to describe all she did to make me feel welcome.

  2. Your pictures make her garden look so inviting! My high school French teacher, Mr. Polony, was Hungarian by birth, so my French, such as it is, probably has a slight Hungarian accent (if you can detect it beneath my Ohio twang).
