Weekend Off

Birthday Girl with Perry

TURKEY08125


I was going to write about 'Neem' but i don't feel like it .......

Only joking, i will save my Neem info for next time as we have been away this weekend, over to the UK to meet up with our children for our daughter Cassie's birthday.  A great time was had by all.  Cassie is at University in London and we had booked all the tribe in at 'The Rembrandt Hotel' in Knightsbridge. We had Cassie's boyfriend Perry with us and we had a fleeting visit from Corrines, as he joined us for a quick breakfast before sweeping Corrine off to watch Spurs play ( Corrine had a great time).  We all went to see  'Spamalot'  the Monty Python show on the Saturday night,  hilarious, try and see it.  Alistair and i saw it in New York last year and wanted the kids to see it, our seats were a bit up with the God's in the balcony but it was a great laugh.  

Then on the Sunday we managed some light shopping and I stocked up with Biltong from Harrods and we had a traditional  Sunday Roast before going to The Royal Albert Hall to see Michael Bolton in concert in the evening.  Here I expect some people will 'groan'  ( the boys in the group did)  but he was fantastic, what a voice, and we had great seats.  Alistair did the pre-ordering of drinks so we had no rush in the interval and could sip our wine while the boys reluctantly agreed Michael could sing.

As we strolled back to our Hotel through Autumnal leaves our ears still vibrating,  we all agreed it had been a lovely weekend.  We said our goodbyes the following morning, for me tearfully, as everybody went their separate ways and Alistair , Max and I made our way to Gatwick. The plane was delayed ( pain) so late last night we arrived home and I have slept till noon today.  Now its time to make a cofeee and go and check on those Neem seeds..........
