It was mum and dad’s Ruby wedding Anniversary in the summer and the kids (Mikie, Fiona and Gerry, Mo and I) had chipped in and got a holiday house for the weekend as a gift. We had a “rer ter”. We pulled into the drive just after 2 on the Friday and Mikie and Emily had just arrived. The Wedlock’s and Mum and Dad were not far behind.
The house was amazing – a huge big kitchen and lounge and a dinning table that we could all sit round – all 13! We had arranged to have turns about with the dinner – we were first, then the Fiona & Gerry and Mikie & Emily on Sunday. Mo had made a big pot of Steak and Guinness the day before, so all we had to do was heat up the pot and make some rice - magic. After dinner we sat in the kitchen and Mikie played the accordion and the kids ran around before they went to bed.
Next morning we were up and out for a wee walk up the farm road.
Daisy picked up a worm – I thought she was going to eat it at one point!!
We got back to the house, got into the cars and headed into Melrose for a wee walk around and some lunch. We went down to the river and watched huge salmon leaping out of the water, before heading back to open the bar.
Fiona & Gerry had made Spaghetti and Meatballs – great. After dinner there was the X-Factor camp and the rest.
Next morning we all went for another wee walk – we went down the hill this time, and after we headed to Berwick upon Tweed. He had lunch and a walk round the walls before making our way home.
Mikie and Emily were on dinned duty – Chilli, which hit the spot. After dinner it was another lounge about with a few glasses of wine before bed.
Monday morning started with a wee walk before we had to start packing up.
At about 2 o’clock the owner came to get the keys and have a quick check round the house and she gave us the all clear, we headed to the local pub for a great lunch to finish off a great weekend.
