Unfortunately for me I came down with a cold/cough on the Thursday, as we left for a long weekend on Friday lunchtime, but I was still able to enjoy the weekend even if I was a bit quieter than normal and took the occasional nana-nap.
My folks very kindly came up to look after the kids which was very nice of them, I think Megan & Duncan would have been very bored with the weekend, and Megan was suffering from the same cold she gave me.
The weekend went as expected, too much food and drink, some walks outside to work a little of it off, and plenty of good company. Altogether, very worth while.
