Friday's Fave Five 23/3/18

 
 
Friday is time to look back on the week and find five things to be grateful for.  Drop in to Susanne at Living to Tell the Story for full details and other participants.

Well I have been AWOL for a couple of weeks - life has been a bit hectic so lots of things to be thankful for and here are 5 from this week:

1.  Celebrating our eldest son's 30th birthday.  We (hubby, 2 sons, daughter, their spouses, grandson and eldest son's 2 dogs) spent last weekend together at a converted barn just outside Norwich in Norfolk.

We had a lovely time but the weather was awful (it snowed!) so we didn't get out and about much but it was lovely just spending time together - eating, playing games, more eating....I'm sure you get the picture.  We did manage to get out to a nearby pub with a nice restaurant for a meal on the Saturday evening but it was horrible driving back as it felt like a blizzard.  Fortunately it was only about a 5 minute drive.

2.  Having 3 kids who get on.  It's lovely to see them interacting with one another and the spouses fit in well too.  I'm hoping the Grandchildren will get on well too when they arrive.  They're certainly going to be close in age.

3.  This little guy.  He can always make me smile.

The guy on the right's not bad either ;)

4.  Getting a family picture.  It took us a while to work out where to prop the camera and wait for the timer etc but it's nice to have these memories.

Nathan couldn't cope with looking at the camera - there was no one waving at him and we opted not to try and include the dogs!

5.  The snow had pretty much gone by Monday morning so our journey home was ok.  The first bit was a little tricky - narrow country lanes which were still a bit icy but once we hit the main roads it was fine and we got home in good time.


This weekend will be quieter.   Have a good weekend all.
