Half term holidays

Evening Everyone.
Hope everyone is well and the weather isn't too chilly where you are. It is half term here this week and so we have been out and about with the grandchildren.
Monday we took two of them to Manchester Airport and then out for lunch. I had packed a bag of drinks, a flask and some snacks which helped with the costs.
Tuesday We had eldest granddaughter. We took her out and about with us while we did a bit of shopping and then took her for lunch too. We only had a coffee and then had a sandwich for our lunch once at home as she wanted to go to McDonald's.
Wednesday we had a day to ourselves as we had made arrangements to meet some of our ex work colleagues for lunch. These are lovely friends who we had a fabulous working relationship with for may years who have now also retired. I feel very privileged to work with such an amazing team of professionals and was very proud to be part of that team. We sat eating, chatting, reminiscing and laughing and before we knew it 4 hours had just disappeared. Cant wait for the next time.
Today I have been with my eldest daughter and my sister to try on some more wedding dresses. We actually ended up going to one of the first shops that we had visited back in August and after another trying on session we all agreed on  a gorgeous dress. I was quite emotional seeing her there looking so beautiful. The dress certainly had the wow factor and will look absolutely gorgeous in church on her wedding day.
After this we went for coffee and then picked up my eldest granddaughter again. Hubby had been out walking for the day with his two friends. One friend he has known since he was 11 and used to live next door to. The other friend he met at University and was the best man at his wedding. We do make an effort to stay in touch and meet up with our friends as often as we can, friends are important and a real blessing.
Tomorrow we have another day with the grand kids and are taking them to the local wacky warehouse......wish me luck! Those places are manic at the best of times but school holidays when the kids are fuelled up on Halloween sweets. Nightmare!
Enjoy your weekend folks and take care
