After all the stress of the last few weeks it was such a relief to have a good weekend. Angie and John drove up from Essex, and while they both stayed with Mum & Dad for most of the weekend.
The women all went into town to the new shopping centre for Saturday afternoon while John and I sat with Dad, and John came over and watched the rugby Saturday night. They both came over for Sunday lunch, where Sue excelled with a "double roast" meal and a "double strudel" for desert. It was good quality family time together, which was added to by Christine phoning from America just at the end of the meal (though she did sound a bit down). Angie stole the show putting on a "riser" chef's hat in a way that only Angie can.
Mark seems to have gone down with a bit of a cold, full of sniffles this morning so he'll be taking Lemsip this week to shake it off as his girlfriend will be about next weekend. Suzie's phased return to work appears to be going well, fingers crossed it continues to do so. Andy is still looking for a car to replace his Corsa. I missed out on a couple of ride-outs with the Deauville crowd this weekend but the family had to come first and it was quality, so that's enough compensation for me.
John and a work mate may be doing the Bike Show in Birmingham (24th Nov - 2nd Dec) so we may get to do that together - which would be nice. Have to wait and see on that one.
