A lie-in, two hours at the gym, a little shopping & then home for tea by the fire, as it turned cold & wet.
On Saturday G & I drove to Cambridgeshire to see JR to celebrate his 84th birthday. AJ drove across from York to join us & we all went out for a celebratory lunch at The Bildeston Crown, which was delicious.
We stopped at Lavenham to walk our lunch down.
Then on to JR's for tea & birthday cake.
We had a lazy evening after all that driving (we fell asleep in front of the TV)
On Sunday G & JR went to look at cars, to find JR a model smaller than the Kia Sedona (no big problem there then) as it only just fits the garage & is a pig to park. AJ & I went to Sainsburys , bought lunch, went home & cooked it on the Aga (black-faced border lamb, apple crumble)- beat that!
We came home after lunch so that G could go out on his bike & AJ could get home in daylight.
G set a mole trap. Apparently this is the start of the mole mating season; males make lots of hills, moving around scouting for a mate & then father hoards of molettes* to destroy whatever lawn is left.
* I made this word up!
What is a young mole called, apart from "obscenity" (refer to Ernest Hemingway)

according to this site http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/animals/Animalbabies.shtml
a baby mole is called a "pup"
I suggest a suitable 4wd would be a Subaru for JR

Glad you had a good weekend. I am also happy to see that at least one of you chose fish and chips, hopefully followed by ice-cream!
AJ & I both had lobster caesar salad followed by fish & chips with squashed peas. It was scrummy, wonderful fried fish, almost tempura.
Am I becoming a "foodie"?

Bloody moles are always having it away..... often with the lights on- the little devils!
