Not in charge of this one, no idea where I am going.

He’s definitely a keeper alright cmon bite the bullet and enjoy

My view is that even if you do not totally enjoy something, it is better than never trying anything and just staying safe but boring for all your life. At the end of your life it is a lot better to look back and have had lots of experiences and be happy about most of what you have done, rather than have regrets about things you didnt do!! Well thats my way. The other day the fair was here and I had a great ride on the waltzers, chosing a car that really was swinging around. No doubt I was the oldest person they had on the ride. Who cares? It was great fun, I enjoyed it and where else can you shriek and scream in the street at my age without being carted off??!!

O wow what a truly fantastic surprise! Well done to all xx

How lovely that they managed to surprise you! Must have been tricky keeping it quiet if you are usually the organiser. I have a big birthday coming up this summer and wanted to spend it with all the family, so I have booked flights and villa - they all know I would not have trusted them to do it! But I hope there might be a few surprises while I am there...... Hope you all had a great time.

Wow how wonderful, you have a loving family and obviously think the world of you xxx

It all sounds lovely, the Cock in at Muggington is one of our family favourites, I hope you’re all having a great time, just a shame the weather isn’t better today.

Wow how lovely. I love surprises glad yours turned out to be a good surprise.

You are so fortunate to have a husband who is willing to plan a “surprise” trip for you and he. I’m sure he knows your interests enough to make this a memorable occasion.

Go forth with an open mind, a new adventure and vistas. Hope he didn’t forget to incorporate great dining into this.

Walking boots? No big deal. I’m sure he’s figured out where you can plug in your hairdryer!! 😆
Enjoy!

I'm so envious. I would love my family to arrange a meeting like that. I don't have a husband anymore but two of my daughters are semi estranged and both not in very good health at the moment.

So glad is was a lovely surprise and NOT camping.

What a wonderful surprise Sago. I too felt quite emotional reading about it. That’s exactly the sort of surprise I’d love.

How lovely. I love Ashbourne. Have a great time x

How lovely!

Sounds perfection

Sago, what a lovely surprise, he’s a keeper x

Absolutely! What a wonderful Family you have Sago!!

What a lovely surprise. His blood’s worth bottling as they say here.

Somehow I teared up reading about your lovely idyllic family weekend. My 3 sons are capable of organising something similar, but to make it a surprise like that was the icing on the cake.

Excellent work, Mr Sago and the rest of the family - it sounds a wonderful weekend.

Sago, what a lovely surprise, he’s a keeper x

Last night we had a dinner booked at the Cock Inn Muggington, we ate in a pod in their beautiful knotted garden.
The food and service was outstanding and having our own pod meant the children were not annoying other diners!
They did however behave beautifully as we were all so relaxed.

Swimming with the children this morning after breakfast then BBQ lunch.

Sons both leaving at tea time but daughter and family here with us until Monday.

Son no 2’s girlfriend has had a baptism of fire, having never met any of us before!
She is delightful, she is staying on in the UK to undertake training for part of the round the world clipper race, I’m sure that will feel like a walk in the park after 3 days of us😂.

Great surprise! We know Parwich really well and love the area.

🥰

Lovely surprise - lovely place not too far from where I live so know it ..... try the tea shop in Tissington.

What a simply wonderful surprise Sago.
Well done Mr Sago and children too 🙂

Ooh, I’m SO envious. I haven’t been away for about 5 years, what with one thing or another.
Enjoy and learn to “let go”…

Wow! Lovely Sago enjoy every moment!
