What will you all be doing on Sunday (Fathers Day) are your family visiting your DH? Do you visit your own Father?
Mine died a long time ago, but family will be arriving with presents and card for DH on Sunday, so am hoping for sunshine as we will be in the garden. Just tea and scones, not lunch as we usually do.

We are hoping for at least a dry day lemongrove Both our parents are long dead but our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter will be visiting DH (from a distance) hopefully in the garden if dry. I hope you enjoy your day.

Hoping for lunch in the garden as long as it is not raining.
If it is we shall set up in the garage( double , integral)and keep the door open. DH and I at the end with the door to the house.

I doubt we will see anyone as 4 of our children have their own families and the 5th one can't drive. But that is just as it should be

They will send cards and gifts. And I will cook a special meal as requested by DH (and a full English for breakfast!) as he is a brilliant father to our children and grandfather to their children.

Thank you Kate you too ?

kitty shhhhhhsh...if DH hears about the full English brekky he will be clamouring for one ( I enjoy eating them but not cooking them.)

Daughter and her children coming for late lunch in the garden. My 89 year old mother is also coming. She is now in a bubble with dh and I. She will sit in garden with dh and I. Daughter and family will sit a social distance away. Really hoping it is fine weather. Our dining room has patio doors leading out into the garden. If the weather is poor dm will sit at the dining table with us and daughter and family will sit outside at the garden table on the patio.

It really is lovely to see our families, and friends in the garden
Just imagine if things had been like this in Winter.?
