Jan and Maaike











Tob drove us down to Bristol last friday for the weekend. He was off for a Live Role Play Stag Weekend in Wales - yes these things do exist. We had a lovely laid back weekend with Jan and I and 3 children. I say laid back, it was but the days were long having to be up with the boys from 6 plus having Leon come into bed with me in the night. It was lovely to spend time with my Sister and Maaike is coming on a treat. She adores the boys and the feeling is mutual.
Tob came to pick us up and have Sunday lunch with us at Jan's around midday, with stories of gay hairdressing elves and dandy highway women. It was one hell of a weekend they had. Tob really needed something like this to unwind and actually see is friends. This was followed in a good way this last weekend when after Toby's Cousin Sue's 40th birthday party down in Bedford, we left the boys in their pjamas to come back with Ellen and Dan and we got to go to Martin and Soph's BBQ party down in London. We stayed over, had breakfast with Soph in a lovely cafe bistro on a beautiful summers day. The boys had a lovely time with their Nana so it was a good weekend for everyone.
