We had a lovely few days away after Christmas . . staying with Jenny and visiting family and friends in Wigan, Ramsbottom and Nottingham.
We arrived at Jennys on Thursday afternoon. . . on Friday we had a lovely meal with Ros Roy and Jane. . James and Matthew were there too. We visited St Johns churchyard to see where Auntie Edna and Uncle Jack are buried.. . it was cold and wet and we couldnt find them for ages. . there are so many plaques covered in leaves and pots. We sat in the car afterwards with a pie from the bakery as a little tribute to Auntie Edna x We went on to Mike s to sort through Auntie Ednas bits and pieces from the residential home. . I have brought home some photo albums and diarys to keep.
We went to Dunham Massey on saturday. . which was really nice. . but very wet and muddy everywhere. We got really close to the deer that live there and took some photographs. We met Paul and Emma in The Swan with 2 Nicks for some lunch and then went back to Jennys for a buffet and card games.
On Sunday we drove to Ramsbottom to see Charlotte and Paul and Ang came over too. . it was lovely to see them. Then we headed to Nottingham for the last leg of the trip. It was lovely to see Lou again. . and to see the work she has done on the house. Lou Anna lara and I headed off to the Theatre Royal to see the pantomime Cinderella. . and we had a great time. There were tears (from me of course) and lots of laughter. . it was the best panto we had ever seen. Tel Mark and james went to the cinema and we all had pizza when we got back. It was lovely to see them all x
So we arrived home on NYE pretty exhausted but happy to have seen everyone.

ps. There was lots of lovely food and drink . . Ros made BBQ pork and a delicious baileys cheescake for desert . . Jenny put together a huge buffet and Mum brought along a homemade trifle. . Paul and Charlotte made us sausage and bacon butties on white bread. . and Lou made dauphinoise potatoes and a tasty beef and ale pie. There were also lots of mince pies but thats another story!!! x
