The week has been busy.    We’ve caught up with good friends Ally & Phil.  Rosie (big sis) and I have had an Annie Sloan painting day over at my other sister Fiona’s which was great fun.  I’ve also cycled most days and have helped out in my sisters Tea room, as she’s been poorly.  Si’s been down to Kent for a cards night with the boys, been in and out of the office and today, completed a 5k charity run with a sore ankle at the Four Seasons Hotel in Dogmersfield today  ..so I’m very proud!

Sunday morning, we traveled down to Sussex to visit my elder sister, Jan and family.  Rosie drove down earlier in the morning to attend a service and Simon and I caught a lift with Fiona a later in the day, along with Chloe and Iona.

As we don’t often see Jan & co,  Rosie and I planned to stay a couple of nights.  Si only stayed for the day and caught a lift back with Fiona as I don’t think he wanted to do the girly think.

It ended up being a productive couple of days.  Jan’s brilliant at home crafts and it inspired us to make all sorts.  Napkins, keyring, bag holders, lavender bags and a couple of hearts ..we had great fun and even though Jan had a nasty sickness bug and Rosie a sore throat and the start of a cold. 

What was also lovely is that we caught up with nieces and nephews and their little ones 

We’ve been busy over the last week or two driving about  …first of all, Gravesend to visit Simon’s mum, then onto Hoo to see Si’s brother Roy and family and then up to Suffolk to help set up Si’s friends (accountants) pc  ..and in between that, we’ve been to Heathrow to change our rental car ..poor ole Si, as he’s the only named driver, he now has to do all the driving.

In between traveling about, I’ve been out on the bike and Si’s been to the gym but has been taking it easy as his ankle is still painful at times.

Yesterday we attended our friend, Phils wedding reception which was great.  So nice to see him happy and to think he’s emigrating to Canada is just brilliant  …bring on the boarding holidays 😀
