A weekend of parties

The Cieplies came back from their travels to Wales and Scotland on Friday afternoon and we all went straight to the end of year school picnic at the local cricket ground.  Fortunately it was walking distance.  It was a great atmosphere and we all got fed, and then we walked home. On Saturday, we went shopping in Uckfield, played family football, and then went to the Swinnerton's party.

On Sunday we went on an expotition to the Cat Center where there was the Summer Fun Day going on. We were all a big long line of friends and relations stumping along and it was fun.

We met up with Lou and some of her kids there. I love it when my friends get to meet each other!
Part of the weekend was taken up by sewing a sleeping mask for Mr Wilkins as his leaving present. Its been awhile since I busted out the sewing machine and fortunately Annabel is a whiz with it so she ended up doing most of the work!
 In the evening, we were treated to dinner by the Cieplies at the Red Lion, and it was wonderful.
 The sad part of the weekend came on Monday morning when the time came to say goodbye to our wonderful guests.
I can't quite believe that Annabel and her whole family actually came all this way to see us!
