Fantastic Friends Reunion

What a brilliant day we had several Fridays ago when our friends Kellie and Gareth came down south from Cumbria. I had arranged a get together down at the beach with a crowd of all of their good friends plus all of our kids. It was very wierd weather though as the day started with this really heavy, thick sea mist which slowly made its way in land as the afternoon wore on, it really looked like the set of some mad thriller, quite eerie. Then all of a sudden it was gone and the sun appeared and it was absolutely scorching hot.

I had such a fantastic day as it was the first day I had been able to have more than a couple of glasses of wine as I had stopped breastfeeding and so could let my hair down and indulge a bit. It was so great to get everyone together again as well and the kids all loved being with each other running around on the beach, playing Pirates of the Carribean. The BBQ got its first airing of the year and we had a great feast of food. We were also celebrating the fantastic news from our friends Charlie and Spencer who got engaged on a recent trip to New York and after being together for over 20 years, we were all so stunned that they finally made the leap into marriagedom. Hooray for them, we think it is fantastic unlike their son George who was not as impressed at the thought of watching mum and dad kissing and said that weddings are boring.

Charlie was such a good boy and drifted off to the land of nod in his buggy and we wheeled him home later, lifted him into his cot and he didnt make a sound. We love him.
