Each week Susanne reminds us to look back on the week and find the blessings/things we're grateful for. You can find out more here.
1) I missed last week because I was here:
Dunkerque!
We spent the weekend at Hubby's sister & brother in law's house with 2 of his other sisters, one with her husband, plus their 2 daughters, one partner and 3 children. One of the French nephews was also home for the weekend.
We had a lovely time and although we've been to visit them many times I've never made a point of visiting the memorial for the battle of Dunkerque during WW2.
Quite hard imagining my Dad being on that beach waiting to be rescued. But thankfully he was otherwise I wouldn't be here!
Still can't take a decent selfie though lol.The picture below is (L-R) Henri (French Nephew) Jean Marie (French BIL) Voldi (BIL) and Ellis who is Voldi's daughter Natalie's partner. Ellis is so helpful to Voldi and his wife Clare who are both blind. He and Voldi made their way to Dunkerque on Voldi's tandem. They cycled from Voldi's home to Stratford International Station and then got a train to Dover. They then made their way to the ferry port and crossed to Calais. Henri and Jean Marie met them there and guided them on to Dunkerque.
Anyway we had a lovely weekend, Anne Marie (Hubby's sister) is a great hostess.
Other good things this week:
2) I got my flu jab on Wednesday. My arm has been a bit tender but other than that it's all good. I definitely don't want to get flu!
3) It was Knit and Natter time on Wednesday evening and despite all the nattering I think we all made a little bit of progress on our WIPs. This is mine:
