27.06.2011 - 03.07.2011 UK - week 13

 I worked the first week Mum and Dad and Roger were here but still managed to fit in a few pub trips after work! On Saturday we went for Chinese for lunch then on Sunday had a family roast before Mum, Dad and I set off for Scotland and Roger flew back to the USA. We stayed 2 nights in Ambleside in the Lakes District on the way to Scotland. We were so lucky with the weather and arrived in bright blue sunshine - very speccy!

  I'm afraid the photos are rather repetative towards the end but it was so pretty in the Lakes District!

I arrived home from work and was greeted with "oh good you're home we can go to the pub now!" so off we went to the Red Lion! Roger, Dad, Mum, Nan  and Grampa

On the weekend we went to the nearby Chinese restaraunt for lunch - Kei's YUM!

When we got back from lunch we sat in the garden with some evening beverages and this hot air balloon drifted over head!

After a few beverages dad decided to test out Nan's 4 wheel walker that he had been sitting on due to a lack of chairs - he attempted to wheel around while sitting on it and this was the result...

Our last family lunch before Mum, Dad and I drove to Scotland and Roger flew back to the USA: Nan, Roger, me, Grampa, Dad and Thea - mum taking photo
