Force-feeding T!
Was it a teapot?
Lining up the grandchildren - the chocolate is to the right of the picture - follow the eyes!
We got there & it took only one small packet of chocolate buttons.
A busy weekend,shopping & cooking on Saturday ready to welcome the family on Sunday.
Aj arrived on Saturday lunchtime to lend a hand.
On Sunday morning aj peeled & mashed a sack of potatoes to finish off the cottage pies, prepared the vegetables & opened the baked beans, confident that these would be deemed essential to complement the meal.
We made blackberry crumble, bread & butter pudding, rice pudding, trifle & coffee gateaux, served with cream, ice cream & custard, for pudding.
All of the next generation of the family eventually arrived, apart from one nephew, along with spouses, partners & three close friends, 22 adults & 9 grandchildren in total.
It was great to see everyone together, for the cousins to meet up & meet all the children, seven of whom are not yet three.
We have had a relaxing day today; W & K went shopping with J this morning, whilst I watched D sleeping & hung out the washing.
Since lunch it has been raining hard, not fit to venture out.
A good excuse to sit down & do little for an hour or so.
Time for tea.

I suspect it was the prospect of constant S Club 7 which did it! Even Ben and I couldn't have anticipated that!
