birthday celebrations

There was a double birthday celebration for Granny Pat last weekend. First off was a trip to Wonersh to babysit for Matthew & Phoebe whilst James & Katies were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in St Anton which was the place of their engagment. Here she was assisted admirably in the domestic duties by Rev T - though readers won't be wholly surprised to learn that he was better at the wine-monitoring duties than working the washing machine. On her return to Tynemouth, she enjoyed dinner in The Grand Hotel with Rev T & YC.
