This morning we went off to Kendal to see our friends Kate, Dennis and Florence. The kids played happily while me and Kate drank lovely coffee and chatted. Kate supplied the kids with chocolate biscuits, yoghurt, little cakes and cheese strings so that kept them going for a while!

We then went off to do the recycling and to do a bit of shopping and then home to get on with ironing, washing and all the fun stuff that needs doing. None of it got done because our power was on and off all afternoon until 4.30pm while the engineers messed about with something!! Never mind, I guess it can all wait.

Now, the kids are in bed and Dave is cooking me dinner (my favourite, curry!) as a Valentines treat....Bliss!!!
