Savour the moment

This past weekend was just one of those moments one has to savour and remember.  Mark and Eleanor came up from Staines to spend a few days with us, arriving here with us Friday afternoon in time for us to change and ready for a night out together with us, Andy and Emma.  Using my mum's MPV I drove us to Nottingham, stopping off at The Priory for a meal before going on to the Capital FM Area and the Michael McIntyre show.

Saturday we found time for a mini BBQ among the household chores, weekly shop, gardening and everything else that has to be done at the weekends simply because the week is so full of the demands of work and making sure that the "old people" are cared for and OK.  Sunday we managed a proper family BBQ and found time to make the weekend one with a family bias, and all the better for being so.  All in all it was a weekend to savour.  OK, so I didn't get to ride the motorbike, visit a bike shop to get new gloves and helmet needed for the coming winter riding, or a myriad of things I would have liked to have done. But hey, what a substitute, well worth the "sacrifice".
