    Had a wonderful wonderful time.. Lots of laughter and socialising and some glorious sunshine..

    Highlights included:

    - away for 9 nights but only paid for 3 ;)
    - kids had icecreams, pasties etc but only 1 'proper' activity as it were...so minimal big spends and they had a ball
    - managed a walk and drink with OH as well due to kind friends
    - only used one tank of fuel in whole week
    - lodger looked after the homestead whilst we were gone and the plants have flourished :rotfl:

    Will catch up properly soon...hope everyone is in good health and at least a little wealth
