Great things about our trip:
- really easy journey there
- after the first day weather was nice and sunny
- three excellent services at wonderful Anglican church (P thinks vicar's wife is a distant relative!)
- celebrating my younger niece's 16th birthday
- amazing food cooked by my brother
- just enjoying being with my family
- coming second (to my older niece) in game of Risk - victory for the girls yay!
- P's amazing simnel cake
- neighbourhood hot cross bun contest
- seeing snowdrops, daffodils and primroses all out together
- having some interesting conversations with older niece's boyfriend, a politics student
- just relaxing in the garden listening to the birds singing
Some not so great things:
- all three of us having colds
- trailing the subtle fragrance of 'deep heat' round with me due to painful back (? due to wheelchair incident)
- having a slightly cracked rib - don't know how it happened
- simnel cake suffering a bit from tipping over on the journey
- eating too many hot cross buns
- just the occasional teenage tantrum
- traffic jams on way home resulting in 9 hour journey
- came home to house full of the smell of burning ethylene glycol - solar heating leaked again
- a little bit of a middle-age tantrum at having come home after 9 hour journey to stinky house and that solar heating's been nothing but trouble (P doesn't agree)
- Masterchef didn't record!
Pictures to follow (not of the tantrums)
