We looked forward to this weekend. It was the first visit of our oldest friends. They asked if we could cope with them in view of Pauline's current mobility problems. No problem! Just to see them would be a tonic for Pauline. And it was! I cooked them two big meals as well as giving them breakfasts and lunches. It all went beautifully.
There was so much to talk about after an absence of nearly 8 years. In the end it was as if they had been with us for years! It certainly helped with Pauline's physical recovery. By now she has started to gain confidence and moves around on her crutches with relative ease. She is far less dependent on me which is excellent progress. I drove them (Pauline too) to Beaumaris on Saturday and it was a little chilly on the pier! Ann really enjoyed being able to buy old fashioned sweets from the specialist sweet shop there.
Yesterday, after a Greek salad lunch, we drove off to the mainland where we went on a short tour of Snowdonia via Waunfawr, Rhyd Ddu, Nantlle and Penygroes. They were impressed by the scenery and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Later we sat down to a very enjoyable dinner with a leg of Welsh lamb. Now they are beginning to see the difference in food when you live in God's own land!
As they were about to leave this morning, Alan declared he had had a great time, even if we hadn't! Just the sort of thing we love to hear.
