Family time

After coming home from the north of the county where I took the church service yesterday morning, we had some lunch and it was time to get the sitting room ship-shape for the afternoon: various family members came for a "Cheerio" tea for the EFG as it was her last weekend of the holiday at home. The FH's cousin and his family were here, as well as my sister and my uncle.  My dad and MB were due to be here too but Dad hurt his artificial hip on Friday and has had to take some rest days to get over the pain.....

We had several hours of chatting and sitting by the fire together!  Tea was enjoyed and several parcels of food were sent home with various people as well as there was rather too much - some of the visitors brought contributions as well!

We ended the evening watching "Last Tango in Halifax" which was very traumatic and ended in tears last night, and I had to do the ironing whilst I was watching it.  Just after it, there was a preview of the new series of "Call the Midwife" which starts again next Sunday at 8pm - now we have two hours of good programming on a Sunday evening - thank goodness!

And today?  Work to do for three hours, a poorly YFG tucked up in bed upstairs, the EFG gradually packing her bags, and my Faith & Worship tutor coming this afternoon to see how I am getting on. Have a good day - it sounds windy outside here this morning so I am just off to let the chooks out and hope they don't get blown away....
