Surprise meet up


 Yesterday I had strict instructions from my eldest daughter Debbie to be ready for her to pick me up in the morning as she was taking me for lunch. It turned out both my girls had planned an open air meet up at Wrest Park Nicola my youngest daughter lives up in Yorkshire and works for English Heritage so they worked this all out. All three of us double vaccinated and not seen one another since all this pandemic started. Yes seen online but not been together. We all started crying when we saw one another. So emotional and a reflection of how painful lockdowns been, keeping family apart.  Felt so liberating to be driven up the M1 to the near Luton venue. 

What a lovely place to walk and talk together have breakfast and lunch together. The weather did give us a heavy downpour then the wind broke up the clouds to give us some sunshine. The gardens full of colour. We full of catch up and fun. So many statues in the grounds.. some sculpturer got a good contract lol. We tried to work out the time on the sun dial..lol realising sun dials don't change the hour like our clocks for summer time.   The garden shop was lovely and I got some plants for my garden as memory of a brilliant day.
