Mum comes to Seaford

Boxing Day. A more relaxed start. Up and preparing turkey stock this morning, and then Lorraine put in the Turkey crown. At lunchtime, Mum arrived, having been driven down my Monika and Octay. A really cheery afternoon with them. Finally able to show mum around new Kenny towers, even into the garden despite the slippery paths. Monika and Octay brought lots of food, homemade Czech Christmas cookies, stollen bread, wine, open sandwiches and so on. They are lovely people, and very kind. We sat chatting int he kitchen. Pat and Maureen in the other room.

Today's excitement. At one point there was a cry from the living room, and Lorraine went in and called me. Lorraine was putting Patrick into recovery position having found him on the floor with his eyes closed, and Maureen crying out about her leg. Turns out Patrick had a bit of a light headed moment standing up from the sofa and fell down, fall partly broken by Maureen. We picked him up and he was right as rain, and Maureen's leg was fine. 

They toddled into the kitchen and Mum enjoyed seeing them again. We all sat in the dining room to eat. Beth and James came around, and Mum met James for the first time. A by-now talkative Mum was driven off at around 4:30. Not long after Beth and James left, driving Pat and Maureen home too. 

Lorraine and I took to the gold sofa after tidying up a bit. All well. So nice to have seen Mum over Christmas.

Like a chump I forgot to take lots of photos. But here is one of Mum with Pat and Maureen.
