In true nomadic fashion, Emily and I were on the move again as we drove down to Sarah's for a long weekend. We stopped at Birdlip Hill for a wander along the top of the escarpment and a quick picnic, then again at Membury services. Starbucks there was full of university students on their way home for the long Easter break. No doubt the car park was full of cars with boots stuffed with washing. I was amazed that Emily didn't drop off to sleep on the longer motorway stretch of the journey. On the M25 she informed me that she needed to do a wee right away. However, she managed to hold on all the way to Box Hill where we had a snack.
After Sarah had picked Tom up from nursery the two children had a fantastic time playing with all his toys and out in the garden.
It was the first time we had been to their new house in Southwater, and I was seized with envy. Of course, hopefully we will be in a place of our own by the end of the year.
With Emily and Tom having a splashing good time, I went to collect Nick from Horsham station. It was great to see him after his week in London, and I was pleased that he made it in time to see Emily before bedtime.
