2012-01-24 Week 5 - Our Last Week In England

















Aiysha: Well, this week our family separated. Mummy, Roxy and I went down with Grandma and Grandpa to Auntie Jenny and Uncle Bill's house to see Great Grandma and ride horses!

Grandad went into hospital to have a pace maker put in to help his heart, which was pretty lucky since he we getting very worried. He went in the night before we left. The funniest thing was Uncle Dave left on the train the day before, and literally had to come straight back! Very funny, but lucky to be able to say goodbye to him though.

Clara: It was the best day. Mummy said it was raining and it was horrible, but I thought it was the best day ever! By a hundred million thousand!!


C: So nice to see Grandma again at Jenny's. Myra also drove up one afternoon with Grandma.

S: Visited Dave Podge for 2 nights in Rotherham - what a laugh. We went for walks, ate loads (including a lovely pork belly), I made them dinner, watched The Inbetweeners Movie, chatted loads, fixed computers and looked at new iMacs. Went bowling one night (which we almost didn't make as we were too busy), which was such a laugh with everyone.

We visited Bakewell, and Dave bought what looked like 2 identical cakes - 'The Original' Bakewell Tart and Bakewell Pudding. Jude and I ribbed him all afternoon about them being the same. In the end we had to apologise - they were very different, and both so nice we finished them in one night!

They all looked so well. Bill had just been accepted into his 6th form college, and Amy was studying at play learning at uni.

Had a visit from some of Dad's old cricket friends from Hong Kong - Bob Soames, and Mike Womersley - very nice to see them looking well, and still got on very well.

Predator - what a bad film. Nice last meal at the chinese with Dave and Mum though, shame Dad could not join us, as he only had hospital food.

Still raining when we left Willoghby...
