Saturday

Off to Mum and Dad's for the night. Had to drop Lannie off in Sleaford and stopped at the market place and had a sad goodbye. She was off to meet Danny and have a day of pampering for her birthday. More tears!
Got to Mum and Dad's in good time. Danny and Donna were already there and before long Cindy, Steve, Rosie and Brad turned up. Cindy and Mum really wanted to meet and as they only live 45 mins apart we had arranged for them to come over to mum's. We had the most beautiful weather. We sat on the patio drinking wine, well, me, Cind, Mum and Donna did! It seemed to be an unwritten rule that the men were doing all the driving! We all went off to Broadstairs for lunch and a walk along the beach. The kids all had a ball! but all good things come to an end and we finally had to say goodbye to Cind and the gang. I expect your thinking by now I couldn't possibly cry anymore. WRONG!!!
Dinner at seven at our favourite restaurant in Broadstairs now. As usual the food in the Tartar Frigate was wonderful. A strangely empty chair in the middle of the table was soon filled with my other brother, Stephen. It was a lovely meal and a lovely family night.
Back to Mum and Dad's then goodbye to Steve, and hallo to Natalie, Mum's next door neighbour, who just happened to bring over the champagne! Cant remember going to bed. Good one Nat!!
