We've had such a lovely time over the past week. It seems like it's lasted forever, but it was only last Wednesday we went down to Cornwall for a few days and then Saturday for the wedding. Cornwall was very relaxing. I even started on Room, which is a book, which is sort of like the story about the German chap who locked up his daughter and had kids with her etc etc. I'm not sure it's for me really, but I suppose I should finish it because it would be churlish not to. The parents were fine, although seem to be much much older. I think they've slowed down considerably and they are really feeling it. However, not enough for Dick to accept that they could really do with a gardener and not enough for Robin to accept that a cleaner for a couple of hours a week would be a good idea. Never mind, we'll keep digging. Gill, Dave and the boys were down too, so we had a couple of champagne moments in our "drinking holiday amnesty". I tell you what though, it definitely gave me heartburn, which was horrible and very surprising.
The wedding was lovely. We met lots of friends and family of both Huli and Mike and we got to dress up very smartly. Sian and Anna came too and Sian was designated driver for the whole day, which was brilliant. The taxi's were totally booked up, but I had no idea when and where we'd be at any point in the day, so Sian was great. I've got some piccys, but here's one of the barretts looking very smart indeed.
Poor old Patsy had a bit too much of the juice, but a good Devon breakfast sorted him out and we drove home. It seemed like a long way, but it was only 3 hours and Sunday was spent flopping after having a chinese as a treat. Mind you, I did pop round to mum's and pick up the shopping list so I could order it online, which I did on Monday. Phew! Brilliant time was had by all and no upsets either!
