Mothers Day weekend

So it was Mother's Day this weekend and we certainly went to town to spoil Tash! Of course it was a weekend for a start - not just Mothering Sunday.. :-)

So Friday Charlotte came over after work and got things sorted because her and Miles had told Tash they were doing dinner, in fact we were all doing dinner, she had bought loads of ingredients so that we could make our own sushi rolls etc. 

That was a nice start to the evening and she got things sorted, especially the sticky rice, and when Miles arrived we got going. We watched a couple of videos and then had a go ourselves. Great fun, and we were pretty good a it after a couple of goes. Had an experiment with a view ideas but all in all we kept making great tasting rolls of rice and getting full up on them. 

Had some chocolate pudding at the end but such a good idea and it was so healthy. Really enjoyed doing it. Pottered around for a bit but it was late so they left and off to bed.

Next morning Tash did a run and then we got sorted and went over to Charlotte and Miles again and they drove over to Leamington Spa where we met up with the boys around midday. We chose there because Charl and Miles were going to go to a friend's engagement party but they decided not to so that meant we had more time together which was nice.

Met Lewis and Jack and then wandered around Leamington to a coffee shop and then a record shop afterwards but it was nice just catching up and chatting. Back to the car and collected our picnics and then found a place in the park next to the river, unfortunately it turned a bit cold as the sun went in and people wanted to move on. But we had loads of nice food and treats and played some games.

Went for more of a walk around Leamington but to warm up we went to another bar and had a coffee - no alcohol again.

All went well and then we called it a day and went our separate ways. 

Back home I had a snooze and then went out running and did 13 miles which was hard work because I think I'd not eaten properly, only the rubbish in the picnic.

Back home I was wiped out.

Next day was Mothers Day and it was nice and we went out for a walk in the morning over to Blenheim as we had the kids and then back home and Tash did Sunday roast for us all.

A really nice weekend
