Over the weekend Matthew
and Marie came to England to get the equivalent of their banns sorted for their
wedding in Norway this July. Coincidentally
it was the same weekend that Catherine was leaving to live in Spain for a few
months to brush up on her Spanish. So
that we could put everyone up we hired a house near Grafham Water (AirBnB as
usual) in order to be near Stansted for getting the foreign contingent back
home. Jo came down from Edinburgh too so
we made a weekend of it.

The house we stayed in –
well, we stayed in the converted stables round the back
|
As with most of the
country it was a glorious weekend and we spent our time walking or just sitting
around chilling in the grounds.

Karen took Cat to the
airport on Saturday evening and unfortunately her plane was delayed by three
hours but we heard from her later and she arrived safely at her lodgings albeit
a bit late at night.

On Sunday we spent some
time home from home by going down to the Great Ouse that runs through St Neots.
Later on the children went for a dip in the freshwater pool in the garden as it
was so hot!
Jo took Matt and Marie to
Cambridge on Monday so she could meet up with a uni friend and drop the others
at the station for a quick train journey to the airport.
As we were on our own on
Monday, Karen and I took Buddy on a ten mile walk around Grafham Water. The weather had cooled considerably which
was probably just as well as we were walking for a few hours.

Karen fancied this for her
office

Karen left for work really
early on Tuesday morning leaving me and Jo to make our way home to the boat at
our leisure.
Jo is staying a few days
as she is meeting up with more siblings at the weekend down in Reading.
