GREAT WEEKEND

Comment Published at 13:1913:1914 comments14 comments47 Visits47 VisitsReport

We arrived at our friends on Friday at 5-30 where there was a lovely meal waiting for us. Then off we all went to a harvest meeting at 7-30p.m. The hall was packed and decorated with fruit, veg and flowers the meeting concluded with a lovely buffet supper.Next morning we were off again anxious to see  this great Barn Conversion, Our friends' son is doing lots of the work himself. It is coming along nicely and he and his family hope to move in before Christmas, It has been a lot of hard work and they have been living in a caravanon the site. Not very easy with three girls under seven.I'm certain they will be pleased to move in, they are now decorating the rooms. My husband took the morning and evening services on the Sunday and 10 of us sat down for a Sunday roast hmmmmmmmmmm, We couldn't eat tea (still full from lunch) but after evening service 7 of us had supper. Our friends were farmers and they know how to cook and eat (and ask friends to share) We left them early on Monday morning as we were calling in on our way home to see my sister and a few other friends .We couldn't pass  Helen's house so when we were almost home we called to see Helen, Amy ,Thomas and Daniel. Of course they were pleased to see us.We arrived at our place about 6-30p,m.I unpacked our case  and looked to see what had been happening on minti before we went to bed.We are booked to go to the same place in 2009 April and September all being well

Love Pauline

Re: GREAT WEEKEND

Thanks Cath it was a great weekend, and we are a very close family. I see Helen most week days and Marcus every day. He is single and lives in the town but comes for dinner most days, if his workshift is convenient.

Love Pauline

Re: GREAT WEEKEND

 I've been popping in to see when you were going to tell all about your weekend away. Sounds like you both had a fabulous time and farming people do sure know how to cook up a feast and just love sharing with everyone.

Those Barn Conversions can sure turn out quiet beautifully, a friend of ours done one in Sydney.....it turned out better than some houses I've been in.

Also sounds like hubby did well with the  morning & evening services. Glad you got to catch up with your sister and I bet Helen was surprised  and happy to see you.

I'm so glad you got to spend a lovely weekend away, Pauline.

Much Love Janice xxxxx

Re: GREAT WEEKEND

Thanks Janice. We did have a great time and my husband did do well at the two Sunday services. He is invited there twice a year April and September and I'm always glad that they invite me too of course. When we lived in Devon obviously we saw them more often but we have been going twice a year for many years with the children and they loved it too

Love Pauline
