.....and relax, now it's all over!

Today we got up for our final breakfast before going to stay at mum's. The waitress on duty today was the least friendly that we've had so far which was disappointing. She was going through the motions and making empty comments to placate people. We had to wait a while for our gluten free bread today and even then she needed a reminder. We get that she probably didn't want to be working an early shift after Boxing Day but she could have tried to be pleasant.

I felt really sorry for the couple who had been waiting in the restaurant for over half an hour only to find that breakfast was done and had been put away. Clearly they'd been missed/overlooked by our cheery waitress, whoops!

Suitably fed and watered it was back to the room to pack and load The Beast for the journey across the road. Thankfully Sam came to help us so it only took one run from room to The Beast making things so much easier. We were greeted by a rainbow when we arrived:

Mum prepared a lovely lunch of turkey and parsnip soup plus a selection of cold meats and we all sat down to eat together one last time. After lunch Sophie, Scarlett and Kenzie had to head off back to Nottingham. I forgot to post these yesterday so here's two pictures of Kenzie cooperating a little better for a photo on the canal

It was certainly a lot quieter after they had gone. It was lovely to see them all though and we had a great time. There may well have been a bit of sleep going on in the late afternoon as Toni and I both grabbed some extra shut eye!

The evening was spent with a nice supper followed by a few rounds of Chase The Ace and Newmarket.
