Here’s a quick rundown of recent events - we just spent a few days in Liverpool to see family and friends and celebrate Uncle Ian’s 40th birthday (and Daddy’s 44th).
Mon 23 - traveled up in just over 4.5 hours. Tea at Granny Jean's and Oz came to say "hi".
Tue 24 - we went to visit Linda and Adam in the morning and in the evening Grandad Ozz, Ian and Sarah came over to Granny Jean’s for a few drinks and a chat... nice.
Wed 25 - the folks took me for a “sleep-drive” to the Wirral and we drove through / saw Hoylake, West Kirby, Irby, Pensby and New Brighton including a stop off at Carl and Louise's to see them and their kids; Max and Georgia (and Luke the lizard). We also went down to the prom and onto the beach to build a couple of sandcastles... see pictorial evidence below.
Thu 26 - Uncle Ian’s birthday - so we went shopping in town, followed by lunch in this posh pub and the grown-ups all had a few drinks at Granny Jean’s in the evening once I’d gone to bed.
Fri 27 - we had a trip to Coronation Park and met a lovely cat there, then we nipped in to Val and Mario Snr's for quick hello, and went off to Crosby beach (w. sandcastles again!) - with Granny Jean also tagging along. Once Mum and Dad had put me to bed, they snuck out for a drink to the village, starting in, erm The Village (nice up to date site), then on to The Pioneer and ending up in old favourite The Crows Nest. Out at half eight, in just before midnight...
Sat 28 - another “sleep-drive”, this time to Southport, followed by a party ‘round at Ian and Sarah's (3.45pm - 8.30pm) including the following guests; Peter Wilson and daughter Ellie, Mandy and son Alex, Peter Levick and wife Jennifer, Richard, Sue and their three girls, Ian and Sarah (duh, obviously), Granny Jean, Grandad Ozz, Mum, Dad
Sun 29 - our final day up north, but we didn’t slack off with our catching up as we were visited at Granny Jean's by Uncle Steven with his girls Stephanie and Kate, followed by Mario and Vicky with their three girls; Emily, Ava and Maddison... Phew!
What a lot of names and faces to remember... but I (nearly) did it!
