During the course of this past week I have had the real pleasure of not only having lengthy phone calls from both our sons, and Oz-based daughter, but have had a chance of a real catch-up with our two other daughters, and my own mother.
I spent such a happy couple of days staying with Kerry in her lovely flat by the Welsh coast, with wonderful walks along the seafront and pier at Mumbles - together with a bit of very satisfying retail therapy. It has been a while since I have been able to spend such a long time with her, and we both enjoyed it so much.
Then on Sunday we took my Mum to Kim's, where we celebrated her 94th birthday a couple of days early. I felt so proud of our daughter, so full of kindness and energy, going to so much trouble to give her Nana (and of course ourselves!) such a very happy day. Although two of her children were away, we had the pleasure of being with Max and Vikki, and not only did Vikki make a REALLY delicious birthday cake for her Great Nana, but provided us all with a large yummy homemade dip which we greedily demolished with our g&t's!
Kim drove us to Winchester in the evening to enjoy a sensational evening of Chopin's music, and Martin was waiting in the car right outside the theatre when we came out. ..... then back at Harewood House we all tucked in to an enormous strawberry/raspberry pavlova .... and vin rose. Pampered indeed.!
Very Happy Families.
You all look so well! Sounds like it was a lovely few days! x x x Jenny x x x
