On Friday we took the van into Redcar, where we made use of washing machines at Margaret and Nicola's. Big thanks to them. Alan helped Don in the garden by cutting back some of the hedges. Karen had a hair appointment in the afternoon so we both walked into town. While K was in the chair I walked along the sea front, stopping at Pacittos for an ice cream - just as good as ever.
On saturday we hosted Jill and Mick and the Robinsons at the site in early afternoon before setting off to Brockley Hall in Saltburn where Don had booked us all in for the night and had arranged his 90 birthday celebratory meal. Sadly due to the covid situation all the grandchildren and great grand children could not attend due to restrictions on numbers.
The weekend was brilliantly sunny and we enjoyed drinks in the garden in the afternoon with all the family followed by a great meal in a private room in the hotel. The chef even put on a chicken parmo for Matthew which is probably not on the usual menu. Once again we were the last out of the dining rooms after a lovely evening.
On Sunday we enjoyed a massive breakfast at the hotel after which Karen and I walked back to Redcar along the beach. The tide was well out, the sun shining and the beach was busy with people enjoying the moment. After yet more food in Redcar we returned to the van in the evening absolutely stuffed.Read more
