Today we went out for Sunday lunch with my sister and brother-in-law to one of the local pubs, The Sea Horse which does a carvery – which saved them cooking. We’d been here last time we were up on holiday so knew it would be very busy as it’s a very popular place for Sunday lunch.
Monday was a day for visiting a cousin and his wife over at Crook in Co. Durham – they live in a house on the corner of a crossroads which used to be where the reservoir was, their nearest neighbours are over the fields or down the hill. We arranged for it to be a Monday so that my sister would have only one of the grandchildren to look after that day and take with us. Martin, my sister, great-nephew and I all went. My cousin is from the oldest sibling my father had so there is quite an age gap between us, his sister died earlier this year, so he is now our oldest living cousin I think – must check the family tree to be sure.
As usual they were very welcoming and June had been cooking – we weren’t surprised. She’d made a lovely corned beef and potato pie and a pile of gorgeous little buns. We always look forward to devouring her cooking! As it was early afternoon when we arrived and we hadn’t eaten before we left we were ready to eat the pie and saved the buns for later when we had another cup of tea before leaving them.
We had a good old chinwag with them and caught up on all the news.
