I actually had five days off together. Thursday i had Libby, Casey and Harry stay over, we visited my mum first and then it was back to ours.
Friday was quite hectic dropping off Casey and Harry first and then Libby was picked up from the hair dressers by Jody.
Once my hair was done it was back home ready to set of to Nottingham. Lee, Shaun, Sam and Nicci met us at the hotel and then we left for a night out with Nik and Justin.We had a brill night/early morning.
Once the boys and their partners left for home we headed off to the town centre a little worse for wear. We always love shopping in Nottingham and had a really nice pub lunch.
Back at the hotel everyone started to arrive for the annual fund raising dinner which as usual went well with all the usual hugs, kisses and shaking of hands.
Above is a photograph of a soldier in cross stitch made and donated by our friend Sheila. She must have so much patience and as always did a brill job.
Sheila's husband George was 70 in August unfortunately we were unable to make the party. Here is a photograph of a drawing Vin did as a present for him.
After breakfast this morning a few of us set off for tea/coffee and biscuits at Mick and Kay Fellows who live in Nottingham.
we finished off our weekend with a visit to Vicki and Trevor's.And finally putting our feet up to relax.
I have plenty of jobs waiting for me tomorrow before starting three long days and setting off to Kent/Belgium/The Somme for Armistice week.
Thought for today:-
