Saturday dawned bright and sunny. I’m up early with a number of chores to do before heading off with the boys for a “Mothers Day” meal, just the 4 of us. This had been brought forward because Suzie and I were travelling up to Fort William for 3 nights away to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary on 24th.
So I did the laundry, and ironing, getting it all up to date. Then Mark and I went and had a hair cut at the local barbers – all exciting stuff, but, all stuff that was planned. The boys had told us that the meal was booked for 2pm (but not where) so with those jobs done (and more) we get ourselves ready and pile into Andy’s car. We arrive at the venue, the Newdigate public house in West Hallam and on entering find that Sue’s parents, Janice, Desmond, my mum, Angie and John, plus Emma (Andy’s girlfriend) all sat waiting for us at a reserved table.
So we had a lovely meal, with a special celebratory cake done by Sue’s mum (with a bit of help from Adie who did the decoration) and some impromptu photographs which I may well hook up into the web site at some time after we get back home from Fort William (which is where I write this from).
So along with a huge bouquet of flowers that the boys got Suzie for Mothers Day, we had a family anniversary meal and a splendid time. Just a shame that dad can’t get out and be a part of these things, but we took him a bit of the cake back later in the evening and showed him all the photos on the laptop, so he didn’t miss too much.
A big Thank You to the boys and Joyce for the arrangements, the family for turning up and making it an event and the Newdigate for their hospitality and entertaining us.
