What a great end to the week, weather wise! We had an excellent time with John and Nev last night, and then did a lot of the getting-ready-to-go stuff this morning. I went down into Poynton to get a prescription made up and stuff, and Sheila cleaned the boat.
After that, we pottered, mostly, having a chat with Peter and seeing off John and Nev, who have gone up to Bugsworth for a couple of days. The only downside is that Susan may not make it to have dinner with us tonight, as daughter Catherine is poorly. It’s a real shame, especially as we’ve run out of time to rearrange it. We must get away tomorrow, as we need to be in Alrewas by the middle of the month for the whole doctors/dentists/opticians bit.
This afternoon was another high, literally. We went up into Lyme Park and Sheila finally got a chance to fly the kite I gave her for her birthday last year. The wind was just right, although a bit variable, but not so strong as to make it risky for the kite, and she soon got the hang of it, steering her Symphony Beach around like a veteran.
It’s definitely something we must do more often; here’s hoping we get more days like today, sunny but breezy.
Even if Susan doesn’t make it, we’ll still feed Peter tonight; it’s lasagne, so he’ll just have to have a good appetite.
