Hello, Goodbye

We're due at my nephew's 8th birthday party in Hartlepool at lunchtime, so it's a fairly early getaway from the cottage. Seeing Joanne and Chris has reminded us that we have to get together more often - and it feels good to have made a few plans to do so.

The party is at a bowling alley, and the kids all have a great time. Afterwards we head back to my sister's house for a barbecue, and Matt and Andy get to stay over with their cousins, which they're delighted about!
