family time

It seems an age since we last spent a weekend like this one we've just had.

Saturday morning all 4 of us trouped off to the cinema to watch Fantastic Mr Fox.
Really enjoyed the movie and the fact it was the first time we had all gone to the cinema together.

Saturday afternoon we spent a couple of hours down at the shore. Thankfully the sun made a brief appearance.

I like the organic shape of the seats along the path.

G posing for the camera, surely not?!

T happy to be out and active.

S wearing her new favourite item of clothing with her pink Halloween tights and a pink coat!

Sunday was spent in Salisbury.

G's dad was 80 during the week and so there was lunch out with family and friends to celebrate.

After a very lovely meal we went to sit on the lounge where we enjoyed tea, coffee and Grandma's, extremely delicious, home made chocolate birthday cake.

In here Grandad's birthday helium balloon made a bid for freedom and ended up on the ceiling.

Being 6ft 5in G wondered if he popped S on his shoulders and then stood on one of the sofas their combined effort may have been resulted in it's retrieval!

But after a great deal of fun and giggles during the whole escapade the balloon was rescued by a far more sensible option as a member of the hotel staff provided us with a long pole which was used to knock it into a grabbing position.

S did help me with the selecting of a name from the hat for the red scarf, but unfortunately there are no photos as they were really blurred, must have had the camera on the wrong setting!

Anyway I'm pleased to say that the person I'll be sending it off to is diane. Will pop it in the post one day this week.

Hope everyone had as lovely a weekend as we did.
