My sister, with whom I am staying in Manchester this week, does not have internet access so I can only have a quick look in her local library.
I will be typing away next week when I get home!
We met up with Annobel for lunch yesterday at a lovely pub in Styal, Chesire. We had a really enjoyable chat and I hope to see her again very soon.
I hope you are all well and happy - my scalded chest is now just a faint pink and it won't be scarred.

She's been staying in Swinton with her sister and we met up in a pub at Styal.

How nice you all are! Of course, the weather has turned warm and sunny today in Manchester - we leave for France this afternoon!
Granjura - this trip is just to bring Kath back for a holiday with me - the wedding is in August. I will pm you when I get home regarding arrangements for our little outing!
We had a great family party on Saturday - one of my nephews and his wife and two little ones drove down from Glasgow, and another nephew, his wife and daughter met up with us at the house of a third nephew and we had a lavish buffet meal. I have always been close to Kath's sons - we used to take them on holiday when she was having a difficult time.
I think I have probably put on some weight - Kath does not have scales on principle and she is a very good cook.
I am just keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well with the wheelchair assistance at Manchester and Geneva airports.

Annobel Mon 21-May-12 13:07:55

Yes, it's quite summery here today. sunshine You looked very fit and slender to me, Greatnan. Glad you had such a wonderful reunion with Kath's family. By the time you read this you will be back in the Alps, so not much point in saying, 'bon voyage'! Hope the two of you have a great time together.

MaggieP Mon 21-May-12 16:47:01

It's cold, windy and very grey near the North Norfolk coast. We are penalised by Easterly breezes. Just hoping by midweek to join everyone else's warm sunshine?!

MargaretX Mon 21-May-12 18:47:23

Good to hear that greatnan is in the Uk. I know Styal well as I lived near there and passed it on my way to Wilmslow. I went to a lovely Antique Fair there. Is it still going? I'm wearing a ring I bought there at the moment.

Mmmmm. Happy memories.
Enjoy your stay.

Greatnan Tue 22-May-12 07:14:17

All went well with the wheelchair assistance but the drive from Geneva airport to home, although only about 30 minutes, was pretty tiring as it was pitch black, raining heavily and then thick fog. My sister hasn't seen anything of the scenery yet!
It is going to take me some time to catch up on all the posts I missed - I will do it when my sister is tucked up in bed!
Annobel - I have posted a lovely photo of you and Kath on my Facebook page.

nanachrissy Tue 22-May-12 07:35:47

Glad you're home safe Greatnan. Lots of pics on your profile but I can't see one of Annobel and Kath confused

nanachrissy Tue 22-May-12 07:36:38

Ooops, sorry, Fb not your profile!

glassortwo Tue 22-May-12 08:08:11

Annobel Tue 22-May-12 09:19:30

When I get the hang of how to transfer my phone photos to my laptop and then to my profile, I will post a picture of Greatnan and and me.
