we went away to a birthday party for the weekend. looking at the blogring, it wasn’t the only birthday – happy birthday M.
so we went south and stayed at the portico’s, as did jax, and we were there for a swimming party to celebrate c’s birthday. the swimming party was fab, all the children really enjoyed both the swimming and the party food. we adults had far flung HE-ers to socialise with as well!! lovely
after retiring back to the portico, we cracked open the wine, and chatted until 3am putting the world to rights. the kids all had fun – mostly with sylvanian families. the portico had the Ordinary Jack (Bagthorpe Saga)
on audio tape. i must buy these for SB. i remember them being uproariously funny, and i think she would enjoy them now too [mind you, it was in my teens when i 'borrowed' them from my sister...]
the enxt morning, whilst the portico children were marching, jax and i slowly came alive, and big and sb played beautifully. mayhem when all the children about, and bb started a body jumping and wrestling match. having truly shattered the peace, we left!! thanks to layla for the party, and to the portico for hospitality.
Lovely to see you – are you still Londinging on Wed?
yeah, we are for the am showing – so must get up bright and early!!
Was great to have you all
C with 5 children on top of him was very amusing! Hope your journey home was ok.
