Last
Week
Monday began with
emails, photo editing and going in to Plymouth for some final bits and bobs,
evening with a massive Chinese take-away fix (covers my need for sweet and sour
chicken for a while). A great night with Big Bear, Fran,
MOTH (Mistress of the House) and Hugely
Handsome (aka Keith).
Tuesday. We went to
see Family Millard (sadly Kim at work). Had a fab time playing with Oscar (own
blog) and took this picture of three
generations (Bear, Martin and Oscar), no need to comment on how
much the elder two look like each other, it's been said too many times. Kim
knows exactly what her husband will look like in thirty years and is "cool with
it". Back to gather our luggage, Beds had a long talk with
Fraser, Biaga did her best to look
humble. Massive hugs
with MOTH and 'Beds Adversary" and up the M5.
Thank you Family Walker, you are star people, especially
MOTH. Ten o'clock will be Bailey's o'clock forever after. Then to Swindon to see
Jacks' moves in his new
PJ's.
Wednesday and Thursday. Tackled The Magic
Roundabout to gather very final bits and bobs,
photo editing and the gargantuan task of packing five cases; weighing them a
hundred times, jostling your knickers. See the warning signs. Paint Pepe's face a deep shade of
crimson.
Have you ever seen anyone use a set of
digital case scales with such force and
accuracy in the pursuit of pain.
Bear
has.
Cover your head
Bear, Cover your head.
Friday. Went to see mum. There was much Jack had
to tell 'GG' about race cars, Lightening McQueen in particular. Lovely to see this set of three generations having
fun.
Saturday. Team Tinson, Miffy and Rachel, Steve
and Chris (Rachel's mum and dad) and us - a merry band, went to Mini
World, Castle Combe (own blog). Uncle Miff was seen
as the hero for "going in a race car" and letting Jack wear
his helmet.
Sunday. Kate treated us to a fun day out with Thomas
(own blog). The rain did not spoil the good time.
 Monday. Jumped up really early, said our
'farewells' to Team Tinson, nipped to the Post Office Parcel to pick up a
parcel from Family Law and on to the M4 to Heathrow. Saw the new sexy shuttle bugs, returned the hire car with an extra
2,456 miles on its clock. A fairly uneventful flight, we put our watches back
five hours; landing in Dulles Airport, Washington
around two in the afternoon. Economy hire car this time was upgraded
free to a mammoth truck - because we were sailors and the manager
liked us. His turn to drive; Bear left the car pack still playing with a
dashboard that a Space Shuttle would be proud of. Last stop of the week
Annapolis, just to readjust for a few days.
Each week has been just a full as
this one, as usual we are sorry we missed seeing some, try next
time.
ALL IN ALL - ALL IN ALL
BUSY, BUSY,
BUSY
