Saturday, Tom had a birthday party (Ellis'). This consisted of a train ride from Bentham to Morecambe and watching the latest Star Wars film. There were 5 boys altogether (all from IPS) Ellis is at QES in Year 7, but has stayed true to his routes so far and has the same friends now that he had last year. Sam took them on the train, but then they sat through the film by themselves (she didn't fancy it - don't blame her). She then took them to Frankie and Benny's for tea - what a treat and although Tom isn't into Star Wars, he said he really enjoyed the film.
Matt and I had the best part of the day to ourselves - yay! I spent the morning bagging up any spare choccies I had and taking them to Gingerbugs as they were running low. Then once Tom was on his way, we headed to Elaine's at Feizor for a proper lunch. We then did a 5 mile circular walk - a different one this time which took us almost to Knights Stainforth. It was a lovely walk, lots of lumps and bumps, cairns, sheep, cows and donkeys. It was nice to get out and exercise, enjoy the fresh air and not be preoccupied with work!
We got back, had a shower, relaxed and then went to pick Tom up from Bentham. We spent the evening lounging on the sofa including 'teas on knees' of beans on toast.
Sunday we spent the morning finishing Christmas chores and then we headed round to the Ellershaws for an afternoon of board games and drinking. The drinking seemed to take precedence - it was a bit of a session. The kids, as usual played well together. leaving us adults to drink and eat lots and lots of crisps, dips and other really healthy things.
Nothing much happened but we had a really good afternoon of chatting, drinking, eating - oh and we did play some board games but not that many to be honest! We staggered home around 8pm and struggled to stay up until 10pm and bed.
