Sometimes you have a perfect weekend. It’s just the right amount of busy, social and restful and that was what my weekend….

There was cake.Nephew, who thinks that Grandma and Aunty Nic are Daddy’s sisters. Yes, we did set him straight…Family shenanigans on park equipment…and this is my current favourite photo of Ben, Lu and Oli.Big leaf and stick collecting…Sunday morning breakfast was Breakfast Apricot Crisp, which with a bit of yoghurt is a great way to start a day…A clearing out session in preparation for a new wardrobe! There were 4 bags to go to Oxfam and two massive rubbish bags for the dump..A lunch of Saturday’s leftovers, in fact there is no need for cooking or shopping for food this week, the fridge is packed!Not pictured are watching Oli play with Kathy and Adam’s two children, banana bread, three episodes of Sharpe (Ma and I are working our way through them!), a walk through Walpole Park and a little bit of shopping.
