What a brilliant birthday surprise – after a mystery tour arriving at the beautiful Ston Easton Park in rural Somerset to find Jon and Sam and Kim sipping pre-lunch drinks in the drawing room. How wonderful! Lunch in such splendid surroundings was an absolute delight, and their company was SO much appreciated as I know that Jon is frantically busy workwise just now up in Edinburgh, and Kim is up to her eyes with bunting-making and school holidays. The sun shone, and we two were able to enjoy the extensive gardens late afternoon after they had all set off on their long journey back.
Jenny, Katy and William phoned birthday greetings from Oz at the start of the day, and on our return Kerry had left a phone message, and Sean even rang from his holiday base in La Manga . With 30+ cards, and lots of lovely presents, it was a great birthday!
Jaunty Jacket from John!Next day we went over to Wales to pick up Kerry and take her to a lovely rural pub nearby where we all enjoyed a great lunch together, returning to the Clinic for afternoon tea, and to open Kerry’s presents. She was in really good form, so we all had a great day together.
Bless the bunch of you ……. Your Ma can’t thank you enough, and loves you lots. x
Ah, sounds like you had a lovely birthday! Sorry we are a bit (understatement?!) too far away to have joined you at Ston Easton - if we were in Oakhill that would have been soooo convenient! Lots of love & hugs,
