We shall have to stay in the kitchen. Something very odd is going on. I've been trying to tell you lot all about what happened in my absence. I have lost the message. How extremely frustrating. I shall have to start again.
My son, in Sussex, was to have a big party on Saturday night to celebrate his 40th birthday. I didn't think that there was any chance of attending....but, to his amazement, I managed it.
Dear MacS drove me to Glasgow airport on Saturday morning. We left home at 9:30. With assistance, I boarded a plane to Gatwick. There was a "minor technical hitch" and the flight was delayed. Eventually landed at 4:45 and taxied to home of my son's partner's Mum who lives in the same the village. We walked up a very long hill and reached my son's home at 6:15. People had been congregating since mid afternoon. His face, when he saw me, was a picture! I then met my ex-husband [son's father] and his lovely partner. We all get along well. I met with my son's pals from school days. Many of which I'm very fond. Every guest then walked to a pretty village inn. The meal was super and the evening a total success. A pic for you to see in my album. I stayed with partner's mum overnight. We had great fun. Next day said farewell to my son and taxied to airport. Darling MacS met me when I landed and we drove home. Met by Rory at 6:30 ...flopped into our chairs and raised a glass of cheer. It was a marvellous treat. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. This is the 2nd time I've related this tale to you. I shall blow a fuse if it doesn't appear in the forum.
I shall then read through all your news.
