The festival of Moira

The Mckendrys hit The Stings this week, at the tail end of their south east Easter trip. Because Scotland's school holidays are quite a few weeks off our own, Lily goes back to school tomorrow (a week before Easter!?) so they left this morning at 6am for the drive back to Glasgow, arriving at 4pm.
 We had a great laugh, as always, punctuated by trips to Winchelsea and Rye (where Dad and Alexandra were the surprise guests), a picnic at Sissinghurst Castle, an afternoon drinks in Sedlescombe and the Hastings funfair dodgems and  ghost train where Moira's high-pitched scream stopped traffic. On Saturday night we had a family birthday dinner for Moira, the finale of which was Rob's signature banana cake. The girls entertained themselves mainly playing spies and riding their bikes round and round and round and round the deck. The weather was gorgeous for most of their stay and we got plenty of vitamin D exposure. We're looking forward to doing it all again up their way this summer.
