Just what I needed.
Been feeling a bit fragile lately, for lots of reasons, none very exciting though. Mainly worries about the kids education. Gets me down sometimes when I feel like we’re not progressing as well as I think we should (or even as well as others seem to which I know is bad - shouldn’t compare).
So a weekend away visiting friends was just what I needed I think. Mostly because my 2 were fairly well behaved throughout (even had some compliments on Marcus!) so of course that just made it easier to enjoy. The castle theme went down well as loads of knights and princesses (and the odd dragon) played in the garden. M isn’;t that much into dressing up but he got stuck in really well.
After a really late night and much too early morning (it felt like it anyway!) we lazed around Chris and Helen’s house, had a lovely pancake breakfast and then some of the girls brought out an electronic set. M was very interested and managed to get involved without making anyone cry (well done M!). So they built circuits and I’m sure a little education was had 
The most popular was a rotor blade that flew into the air, kept them quiet for ages that did
Lunch was had and we made our exits. Alex made me into a liar when I said I didn’t normally have leaving issues with my 2 if I give them enough warning. After 30 min warning, 5 min warning and time to go she was in hysterics! *rolls eyes* Never mind. M came quietly
We had a fab time, thanks for having us and enjoyed seeing everyone else. 
Great to see you - bet you’re thinking about bananas!
