20 August 2010

Rain, rain and more rain. All plans abandoned, we spent the morning at home. Tim decided to pitch their large tent by the patio and Nick and I helped. Once it was up, albeit very shakily as there was not enough space to put all the pegs in, we all piled in and spent a while in there, with the odd rumble of thunder to titivate the kids.

Dad was off visiting friends again ; no coincidence, apparently, that his absence came when the house was being invaded by family once more! We dropped him at the station then all went to Raglan Garden Centre for a potter about and a yummy lunch. Tim and Nick took the children home while Mum, Sarah and I hit Waitrose; with our departure drawing closer I needed to stock up on a few desirable or essential items. Now that we have pre-paid for an extra piece of luggage we have scope to take a lot more back with us.
