Family weekends are the best. We had my mum and dad round for dinner yesterday, I cooked roast beef and Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings, it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the long weekend as well. You do sound as if you've been busy. I really must find more time for knitting and sewing, there never seem to be enough hours in the day! Hope you have a really good (short) week. CJ xx
