We had
radegund and her two boys with us from Saturday 25 March until about 08:45 this morning, and
niallm joined them for the last weekend.
It included party, painting, visitors, housework, playing, telly, books, 1 am, the community garden, Linnea's birthday itself (she bought her own train ticket, we called in to Eclectic Games, had lunch out, bought helium balloons, went to the museum to see the Victorian Bayeux Tapestry and some really, really old biscuits, and ended up with Linnea buying her own bus ticket, too) and when
niallm arrived we also had Kew Gardens and sharing a train with drunk rugby fans after an Army V Navy match, which was lovely and helped Radz and me with any low blood-pressure problems we might have had. I felt lousy afterwards that I hadn't stood up and had a go at them when they were harassing other female passengers, but in my defense I had a sleeping baby on my lap and anyway we were travelling with two toddlers and two young children so drawing drunk attention might not have been a good idea.
Then we finished up with a big dinner (the whole chicken got eaten, which hardly ever happens) and crawled out of bed this morning to say goodbye.
I think we swapped colds with them, too.
It was great. Let's do it again when we've had almost enough sleep.
