Thursday we got back home, had lunch and then Matt headed back to Settle to see the dentist yet again - he was still in pain. Turns out he needed root canal work done. Not a fun thing to undergo, but he came home happy but numb. It seemed to be what was needed and he hasn't been in too much pain since. He has to go back again in Feb for a 45 min appointment for it to be finished off.
Tom and I sorted the house out and then Mum and Dad arrived with a loaded car full of stuff. Everyone was happy to see each other and we spent the rest of the day catching up.
Friday morning, Matt and I headed to Kirkby Lonsdale to pick up the joint of beef (it was massive), pork pie and sausages and then some beer from Booths. We then went out to Cowan Bridge for a bowl of soup. We were going to go for a walk there but the heavens opened and it was pouring with rain - so that got canned.
At 4pm, the Ellershaws arrived, we had invited Sal, Rich, Caitlin, Lottie, Janet and Phil round for mulled wine and lasagna. We figured it would be a good social event, with everyone having someone to talk to. It seemed to go well, everyone got on, we hardly saw the kids and the house was full of laughter and noise which was good. Once they had gone home we all collapsed.
