A fair amount of time did go on trying to, and failing to, fix that washing machine. It was having none of it, officially DEAD, so much so that we dropped it off at a repair shop, where the guy is going to use it for spares, now Selina and Pete are going to have to go out to get a new one. We did suggest one as an early wedding present and were met with wails of "how boring that idea was" and "we want something far more exciting than a washing machine." The idea Darsh and I came up with this morning is neither of the above, but we need to look into it and maybe even "persuade" the sisters to join in too....
I was talking to Lydia's mum the other morning, and she casually mentioned an idea for the wedding that I hadn't thought about, neither had Sel or Pete, but it has given them an idea, so....Selina was straight on the internet looking up dates and prices for around November time. She will call the family with details in her own time and give all a surprise, but I woke up the next morning feeling all excited...
Sunday [Mother's Day] we took a ride to Clevedon for a walk along the sea-front, bright and very still, but absolutely freezing......
Monday, we stayed on in Bristol, even though S&P were at work, Dad couldn't bare to be beaten by a mere washing machine, he was though,[ even though he took it to pieces and reassembled it a couple more times ] We took a drive to Keynsham in the smart car, where we had afternoon tea in a lovely little coffee shop and a good poke around the charity shops.

Tuesday we wandered home, via the already mentioned repair shop, stopping on the way for a McDonalds.
A short but busy week now as Sara is coming home on Thursday night and Sal, Dave and Jenna are joining us for the weekend, You should see the state of the house, no room to swing a cat, never mind house 4 visitors (5 if John comes too)
