22nd September 2017

The last week in the UK seems to have gone in a flash.  We managed to pack quite a few things in.   We met up with Roy and drove up to Norfolk and stayed with Simon's Mum, Del & Auntie Pat who had rented a lovely mobile home on the coast for a couple of nights and then drove back home, to the farm.

The 15th was my Birthday, another year older and wiser they say  ..not too sure if that's correct LOL
Anyway, I had a super day, got thoroughly spoilt and went out with the family for a lovely meal in the evening!  It was lovely coming home to a room full of balloons (Thank you Rosie) and lots of cards and brilliant prezzies AND my very own chocolate button cake, baked by Iona :-D

The following Sunday we drove to Croydon to visit Simons father and Kate.   We spent most of the afternoon just catching up and then in the evening we went out for a bite to eat.  We were pleasantly surprised by going to Chai-Naasto which was an Indian street style food restaurant.  Very good food, not that spicy but worth a visit.  The decor was brilliant!

Monday we met up with Rosie & Charles, Rob and his vegetarian girlfriend in London for a speed boat experience along the Thames, which was great.  I just wish we could have gone faster!  A great day out though, THANK YOU ROSIE!!
