Last weekend we headed north to see Grandma and celebrate the (surprise) 40th birthday of my old friend Andrew Hancock (pictured here with his sister Rachel). We spend the day times chilling with Grandma around Kirkby Lonsdale (Grandma was on call with first responders first aid - and indeed our heroine was called out on Saturday, and made a difference, so it was all worth it!). Saturday night was the party and all 5 of us went. It was a joy to surprise Andrew, and Andrew's wife Louise had made a great job of organizing the do, thank-you! It was simply terrific to see old friends the Hancock family (Andrew, Rachel, Beth, John and Margaret), plus husband old friends Toby and Mark 'Bingo' Craig (double whammy!) and Richard Barrett and his son Matthew. Congratulations to Richard and Jill who were recently married! It was terrific to see the old acquaintances and see our children all mixing and playing together. It all moves on, happy days.
