Happy families

Headed over the Pennines to have lunch out with Steph and the nippers to seal the birthday weekend and so Tiger Lily could meet her cousins. A lovely time was had.
I forgot to say that as we were finishing our lunch one of the other diners came over to our table. He said that he had been a bit disappointed when we walked in with 3 children as he thought it was likely to disrupt the atmosphere having them making lots of noise. He wanted to say how wrong he had been and how wonderfully well behaved they had all been. Nice touch!
