We woke to a message from Jane to say Jason's granddad, who was in hospital, had taken a bad turn and they might not make it to the wedding. The bad turn turns out to be him falling out of bed and having a bleed on his brain. He didn't last very long after that. Jason went to see him at 4.00am and he died later that morning. It is very sad as they were discussing him coming home. Poor man went in due to lack of appetite and then this happens. There is to be an inquiry at the hospital as to what happened.
In the end Jane and Jason did come as there was nothing they could do here.
We took the dog to kennels and then set off to collect Heather from her office at 12.00.
We set off and the drive was awful and instead of the four hours it should have taken it took seven! The whole M6 motorway was like a giant car park. We were so happy when we arrived.
We dropped Heather off at the hotel she was staying in with Jane and Kirsty and then we went to our which was where the wedding reception was, too. A very nice hotel overlooking the town and surrounded by hills and sheep.
We met some of the family and some friends for dinner in the evening and had a nice night.
Saturday we went into Kendal and met up with the girls. We sat for a long time in Costa as Riley needed a feed and then we had a look around the town but it was overcast and not very warm.
We went back to the hotel and got ready and went to the wedding at 3.00 and then the reception at the hotel.
It was a lovely day and it all went very well. Riley was so good and slept for most of the time only waking for a feed.
We didn't get to bed till gone midnight which is late for us! Lovely to catch up with my sister, nephews and their families and finally meet Matthew who was born three years ago and I have not seen him till now.
Sunday We woke to rain, very heavy. After another good breakfast we packed up, said our goodbyes and left to meet the girls in Kendal. Kirsty and James left early as they had to collect the cats.
We intended to go for a coffee in Costa and feed Riley but it was full. We walked around looking for another place but they were all busy. Jane went back to the car to feed him and when we went into Costa the sofa at the rear was free so we grabbed a seat and rang her and she came back and fed Riley.
We then set off home and went via the M62 which was lovely with some lovely views and not much traffic.
We met up with Jane and Jason at Clumber Park and had lunch there and a walk around before heading home. We finally reached home at 7.15 much better than the ride up.
Monday A busy day today as we had to go and get Totty who was much happier at this kennel so she will go there when we go to Spain, too.
I then went into Newmarket to buy some sun cream and things and by the time I got back it was time to get ready to go to James' nana's funeral.
The funeral was in the small village of Girton near Cambridge and a very pretty church. It was very sad but a short service and then the burial in the churchyard behind the church.
We then went to the community hall and had a bite to eat and a cuppa.
We didn't stay long as we had a lot to do. Once home I changed cars and went off to Tesco to get some shopping that Heather will need and food for the next few days.
I had a message from Jane to say Riely's passport has arrived but she is still waiting to get hers back!
I got back and cooked the dinner in between sorting packing and re making my bed. I had done three loads of washing and just got home in time to bring it in as the rain started.
We had dinner and then I did the ironing.
It is now very late and I am off to bed.
WEATHER
Feeling much cooler now, rain in Kendal on Sunday temp down as low as six at night and 16 daytime. Warmer back home.
