Me on Monday

 Hello! How are you this Monday morning? 

We had a busy week returning to our old routines as the grandchildren all returned to school. It was nice to have days to ourselves again, three full days of childcare for six weeks was pretty tiring! 

There was an anniversary to celebrate - 44 years! Our celebrations were pretty low key.  In the evening we went for drinks at a friend’s house, and in the day we packed up a picnic and went with Coco to a town called Maldon which is on the Blackwater estuary.  Most people living in our part of England will have heard of the sea salt which has been produced there since the 1800s.

 

This week sees us preparing for a few days away in Southwold.  We’ve stayed there a few times now as we really like it there. I can already predict fish and chip suppers, walks along the beach and a wander along the pier.

We have unexpected guests arriving very soon; friends we haven't seen in person for about 12 years.  Not totally our fault, relocation for work in Qatar put quite a spanner in the works for meeting up!  They have been spending the weekend not too far away from us and sent a text last night to ask if they could pop in on their way home to Kent.  It will be lovely to see them again, but I really ought to be giving the lounge a quick tidy before they arrive rather than writing a blog post so - bye for now!  Have a good week.
