I hate it when I get behind with my blog and I have to try and remember what we have all been up to.
Tom, Lily and I went down to Worcester a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday so Lily could have a day at school on Friday while Tom & I looked at houses and then Tom went to school and sat his entrance exams on Saturday while Lily and I looked at some more houses. We saw a couple of really nice ones but the locations were off putting. We left Worcester on Saturday afternoon and drove up to Lenzie for dinner and bed before driving home on Sunday morning. Then last weekend Lily and I drove down to Worcester again, this time on the Friday so Lily could sit her entrance exam on the Saturday and I looked at a couple of houses. One of the houses was in Ledbury and was really nice but it would mean a 25 minute train ride every day for the children so we need to think about that idea some more. When we left Worcester it had started to snow and it snowed most of the way up the road. By the time we reached Cumbria the M6 was down to one lane and we were crawling over the lakes at 30mph so we eventually arrived at our final destination of the farm around 8pm and we were welcomed by all the family (Euan, Emily, Oscar, Jo & Rachel were all home for Ruth's birthday) and a glass of champagne for me! Fab. After dinner and packing Lily off to bed, Ruth, Jo, Rach and I sat up until 2 am catching up and putting the world to rights. So we had a slow start on Sunday and after some lunch it was back in the car for Lily and myself and we set off home with a quick detour to Costco on the way.
Mum & Dad came up last night for dinner and then today it was Mum's 70th birthday so Lily and I baked a cake and we had a very mini celebration before they went back home to enjoy the rest of their day. Nick and I went out into the garden and did a spot of tidying up before the rugby came on the telly.
