My little brother turned 30 on 15th July, Anna took him away for the weekend and so this weekend there was a family barbecue. So on the first Friday of the school holidays we braved the M18, M1, M42 and M5 with no major hold-ups.
At the BBQ on Saturday were Anna's parents, her grandparents and brother, it was good to meet and we hope it's not the day of Stuart and Anna's wedding in December 2007 before we meet again.
We stayed at Chris's flat which is almost in Southmead in Brstol... OK Chris it's not almost in Southmead...
The flat is very nice, 2 bed with 2 bathrooms, 1 en suite, Elspeth did her usual trick of managing to commandeer the lion's share of the bed, relegating me to the floor and Sarah to the margins... she's just like her mother!
Bristol Zoo on Sunday with Simon and Jacqui - the zoo is brilliant, Elspeth saw the lions sunning themselves and the penguins and the seal pup, Bristol's penguins are in a great enclosure where you can walk beneath them in a clear tube and they feed above you, on a baking day it provided some respite from the heat. After the zoo off to the Boston Tea party for coffee with Stuart and Anna before braving the motorways in reverse... honestly sometimes I just go back to work for a rest...
