Family Time Part 2

Its over a week since we returned from Cheshire, this time to see Alison's family. We were welcomed by Daniel and Emily when we arrived at Anne's. When she arrived back from Sainsbury's, we had lunch then a great walk from the house along the river and then back via a canal. Anne and Alison saw a Kingfisher twice, I was too busy talking to Daniel.We stayed for dinner before it was time to book in at the Travellodge.

The next day we picked up Alison's dad and drove to the NT property at Tatton Park to meet Anne and the children. The large gardens are very pretty and we had lunch next to one of the ponds near the Japanese garden. The weather was kind and although mainly cloudy, it was warm enough to finish with tea and cakes sitting outside.

In the evening, Chas had arrived back from London and we all went out for dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant in Marple. The next day, Saturday, we spent the morning in Bramhall before lunch at Anne's. Alison's brother John arrived in the afternoon for a chat before it was time to leave.
