Back…

With my little man.

Mum, dad and I left our hotel around 9 this morning as we headed to our home for the next 10 days.  Our journey on the M6 took us through the Lake District, an area I’ve never visited but it was wonderful to see the little bit that we did.

4.5 hours later we arrived at the mill house.  Nat’s mum and stepdad were here decorating the house.  The lovely house is where we are staying and the reception will be in a marquee in the grounds.  On the day the house will be out of bounds to others.  So although a kind gesture, I’ve found it a little (lot) strange that she is decorating a house we are staying in and not just one room but all the rooms including bedrooms.  She has spent so much time making colour coordinated bunting for each room and lots of flowers everywhere, some artificial and others fresh.  …. And she wants to come back tomorrow to finish off.

Mr C and Sim were out when we arrived picking up their suits and doing a big shop to last us a few days . Once unloaded he started getting dinner ready but trying to get used to a different oven/cooker and people trying to be helpful but really getting in the way was all a bit stressful.  Hopefully, things will improve as the week goes on.

O was asleep when we arrived too , catching up on his awful journey yesterday.  But was on good form when he did wake up.  Nice for mum and dad to see him as it’s been about 18 months since last time.

Lucy arrived around 8.30 and Josh, Natalie and Rebecca arrive tomorrow.
