A huge hit and lots of fun. Organizing wasn't easy but those in attendance and a few more besides managed to maintain the secret..... We were to collect Mum with the aim of arriving just after everybody else and surprising her.... So under instructions from niece Sophie, I was under orders to "go slow".... So quick txt to Mum... "don't come out when we arrive, I need a pit stop....", seconds later, another txt from Sophie... "We are all here, just Cath 5 mins away..."Oh good... No need to stall... Text to Mum, "cancel the pit stop, I can wait"...
No hang on... Cath's got lost..... Yikes.... Ok ... Usher Mum back into house... Changed my mind... Need to go after all! By this time, she thinks I have a problem! So fake visit, real flush, real hand wash.... And off we go.... All clear....
Unfortunately, Macca's wouldn't take our reservation so a different venue was needed! Mum was genuinely shocked when we arrived.... I thought somebody was bound to tell her but apparently not! It was a really great evening... Champagne flowed, dinner was great, the wait staff were fabulous.... couldn't have been better..... I would honestly recommend Brook Meadow (Ledsham,Wirral) if you are looking for a local venue! Six stars from me! Great setting too....
It's always great to get old friends together, but when Cath and Margaret started talking about my Dad and busom's in the same sentence, I knew they had the wrong man!!! Still... I am not here to shatter fantasies.....
.....So I can hear a few voices in my head... No, not early onset madness..... "J... How are we supposed to know who is who?" so once only, so listen carefully.... At the dinner table, starting with me and moving clockwise until you get to K....
J... Mum.... Sophie (niece)... Gail (sister).... Ian (brother in law) .....long time friends....Cath, Joe, Francis, Margaret and finally.... K!!And so ends another day.... Llangollen on Monday!
