Family weekend













Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie have just left us after a lovely weekend together during which Claire's parents were also with us for two nights. We played croquet, both on our small lawn and the official croquet lawn, French cricket on the Millennium Green, Chickenfoot on the kitchen table, watched the Formula 1 race in Monaco, the Manchester United v Barcelona football match, Britain's Got Talent, and Peppa Pig., ate quite a lot and drank some lovely wines in moderation. But most of all we talked, about the past, present and future, especially making plans for when Olly and family come home in July (see next item). The weather was dry Friday, Saturday and Sunday but this morning the heavens opened, the rain came down and there was nothing much to do but look at our screens and research a car for Olly when he returns.
