Just back from a weekend in Chandlers Ford with Chris, Lucy and the girls. Had a bit of a slow journey down because of traffic. It was the first trip with Chas’s new SatNav. We know the route, but she wanted to try the options – it was a bit disconcerting to be suddenly given instructions in Russian. We arrived in time for lunch with the family, and with Dave and Bernadette, Lucy’s parents, and then it was off to Megan’s 4th birthday party. Lucy had a hired the local Age Concern hall (maybe so Dave and I would feel at home…). Lucy also hired a real live fairy to entertain Megan’s 14 guests!
It was great success. I noted that these 4 year olds were dancing to the same music that my two did at the school disco 20 years ago (Ag Ga Do Do Do push pineapple shake a tree….).
We returned to Chris and Lucy’s for a pleasant evening of playing on the trampoline, and with bubbles
While Chris cooked dinner
After a bedtime story with the girls, it was gtood to catch up with Chris, Lucy Dave and Bernadette over a glass of wine
We had a leisurely Sunday morning playing with the girls on the trampoline and playhouse, as well as more leisurely pursuits
before taking the girls, and their bikes, to the park where Megan flew her new kite.
Lucy prepared us a lovely lunch, and we had a bit of time for more play before we headed home. We had a lovely time. More photos will appear in “Recent Photos” in a few days.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
