Mom arrived into Gatwick on Friday afternoon and I took her home to reunite with the rest of the family after school. After a failed attempt to get dinner from the Hop Yard, we picked up fish & chips from Den's and then came home to watch The Sound of Music (Sing along version) to try and keep Mom awake until 9pm. That worked pretty well. Yesterday (Saturday) was a pretty busy day doing various things, then today we had Lou come over at 9:45 am so we could all go to the florist wholesaler's shop and buy crafty stuff. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we spent about an hour at the florist place, then decided to go somewhere for a spot of lunch.
We discovered The Wiremill lakeside pub - what a find! Good thing we were there before the crowds arrived so we could nab the heated gazebo. I didn't realize there was actually a lake over in this part of the area, and while we were there a waterskier was doing his stuff right there in front of us. Live entertainment!
We had an absolutely lovely time together with so much laughter. What a day!
Then for dinner we drove to the Xenia Lounge in Crawley for my birthday dinner.
This is a Brazilian meat house type place that I had been to for lunch one time and wanted to use my birthday tokens to bring the family. It was pretty good, and they even brought me a piece of cheesecake and sang to me.
