M holiday.

Yesterday the four churches were open for the day, each offering a different food selection & maps to walk/ cycle/ drive between them. The weather was fantastic - hot & sunny all day & a good number of people enjoyed the day. Sh church was on lunch - ploughmans' lunches, offered from 11.00 - 3.30pm. Everyone else was otherwise engaged, so I ended up going it alone! I laid tables on Sunday evening & was up early yesterday, shopped at Morrisons in Coleshill, then served lunches, teas & coffees, all day - about 40, I would guess. All went very well, food all on boards/ in big bowls, to help yourself & make a donation. It looked & smelt delicious - just right for a hot day. NW did soup - not so well received, LM did cakes - late setting up & missed the crowd. Last week was hectic - Solihull, to collect J & Th from school on Mon, then on to Bicester to do the schhol run with T & KP for a couple of days. Great fun - whatever's going on elsewhere is all forgotten when with the grandchildren, pure delight. I came home, via MG on Thursday, ready to go to York on Fri, to stay with aj. Nephew dick & Emma were married, in the Hospitium in the Museum gardens on Sat - a heartwarming occasion, with all of the family & many friends there to share the celebration. Aj & I went to the hairdressersat 10.00am, then spent until 2.30pm getting ready - takes longer at 49 than it did at 29!! We left at about 9.30pm, Aj very happy by then, as the disco was in full swing. The family all met at Aj's on Sun am, gradually leaving for home during the day. Today I am spending a day in the garden - chickens out at 6.00am, but letting the air warm before I start. No overseer, as G is in Scotland, touring & visiting relatives. I had long looked forward to Scotland in May, but it was not meant to be. Perhaps another time. Another fantastic day in the offing - hope it lasts until after tennis, tomorrow.
