busy weekend

---

It really was busy! First, Alex and Ineke took the canoe along the canal, and Maisie and I met them for a posh picnic. Then Sophie, Tom and the children arrived that very night and stayed for the weekend. We had a lovely time, and I was kept busy all day - Martha is not short of ideas, and enjoys a volunteer to help. On Friday we made jam tarts, and later on Great Granddad came along to help eat them. On Saturday morning, the village held its early bird walk and breakfast, so we went along to the huge breakfast and met the neighbours. Then on Sunday we went up to visit Sophie's friend Laura, who happens to be the daughter of my friend Kate, and we had a real catch up, with 4 kids and lots of grown ups. But we forgot to take photos of that. Sophie and Tom bathed the children and set off back home from there, it gave them a good start on their journey. By the way, I bought a posh new camera, which Sophie and I have been putting through its paces - nearly as good as Alex's.

Wow
Haven't the children grown, I bet Martha had a great time making the tarts! How old is Jack now? The canoe ride looks like fun too. I am glad you all had such a nice time. Xxx
