Hello May!

Oops! I seem to have missed April completely while we sorted out our internet problems, which is a pity because we did lots of lovely things last month.

A very special afternoon tea to celebrate my daughter's birthday (and a belated Mother's Day).

A glorious few days before Easter when we took our caravan up to Patterdale in the Lake District

followed by a lovely few days in the Yorkshire Dales. 

Our children were home for Easter. The first time we've had four places at the table since January.

We had a fun day out in Chirk Castle and wondered why we'd never been before.

and celebrated a very special birthday for my mum with a lopsided cake.

All too soon there were sad goodbyes as our children headed back to their grown-up lives far from home. As always Inca got more hugs and kisses than we did!

Lately we've been making the most of the fine evenings by getting out on the Wirral Way. This photo is just to prove that I have actually been on my bike, and it's not just gathering dust in the garage. We've still been enjoying our Wednesday evening outings after work with some interesting visits around Liverpool .... and the countdown to our retirement in the summer is ticking away nicely.

I'll be honest  .... I've completely lost track with 'Blogland" recently, and I don't know if I want to spend as much time as I used to messing around on the laptop .... so posting might be intermittent     for a while.

Tomorrow we're off to Anglesey for the Bank Holiday weekend. Hopefully, the weather will be fine and we'll be able to do a walk along the coastal path.

Hope you all all have an enjoyable May Day weekend!
