Sad Day

Sad day today as it was Granddad's funeral.  Very nice service at the crem followed by a wake at the Wheatsheaf in Waddington and then the family went on to Mum's.  K and I gave a lift to Lucy, Will and Sarah and getting from the Wheatsheaf to Brant Road turned out to be quite an adventure.  It had been snowing for quite a while but we hadn't really realised just how heavy it was.  By the time it came for us to go to Mum's, it was very difficult to get down the hill.  We tried Waddington hill and Cross O'Cliff hill before eventually making it down Harmston... just.  It took us two hours to do about two miles and hundreds of people around Lincoln had similar stories.  We're just not used to heavy snow.

Weekend in Wokingham with Jo and Tony

Keren had booked us (and Jo & Tony) a weekend at St Anne's Manor, Wokingham - one of Hilton's country house hotels.  We drove down on the Friday night and met them for dinner and a few drinks in the bar.

On the Saturday the girls used the health club while Tony and I had a round of golf at the Downshire Golf Complex.  I carded a gross 93 which is my 13th round under 100 - I was quite pleased considering it's a course that I don't know.  We had a posh dinner in the main restaurant and then travelled home again on the Sunday.  All the food, the drink and the 4* accommodation set each couple back about £150 - I'm loving Keren's discount!
