Mike's parents came for a long weekend - his dad helped finish off the patio. This has been a big project and I can't believe how much Mike knuckled down and got it done!! Martha had a fab time with them, especially Grandma who was hardly left alone for a minute. 
More of the family came to tea and to see his parents - his brother and sister-in-law and their two kids and his aunt, uncle and cousin. It was sunny we sat out and ate and chatted. Lovely times.
We held another garden party for Children's Hospices - lots of family, friends, neighbours and "mummy friends" came and ate cakes and drank Pimms they bought plants, my Phoenix cards, second-hand books and donated to this worthy cause. It was a lovely afternoon and the weather was kind for a few hours.
Scones made and donated by my Dad, chocolate and cherry cake, sparkly cupcakes, brownies donated by my friend Julie aka The Brownie Fairy -they were sitting on my doorstep on the morning of the party - freshly baked, gooey and melting!
