Visit from home

Jill Williams 'dropped' in for the weekend after holidaying with her sister's family in Canada. We had a lovely weekend, though her flight was delayed 12 hours and by the time I met her at 2.00 am last Saturday morning, we were both ready for a sleep-in!

We had a fairly low-key weekend. It was raining off and on Saturday. We walked to Birchwood and had breakfast, then went for a drive and stocked up on some groceries. We then walked to the Longfellow Grill for an early dinner and walked back along the river.

After church on Sunday we drove down to Stillwater which was fun as I hadn't been there before. Very much like Berry with the same mixture of antique and bric-a-brac shops, some tacky, some nice. We made it home in time to squeeze in an early session of the Bourne Ultimatum. I had Monday afternoon off and arrived home to find Jill recovering on the cane lounge after having cornered Fin and Tutu in the back lane, following Tutu's escape (Fin also got out after Jill took off after Tutu). Of course Fin and Tutu were none the worse for wear, though Jill had some unexpected weightlifting practice trying to get them back home! It was a busy couple of days but really nice to catch up on all that's been happening over the past couple of years for both of us.
