We went into the weekend with Scarlett dizzy with excitement as she went to her very first concert (cool), with her Dad (not so cool, but this Dad is quite groovy). They drove up to the O2 on Thursday straight after school to see Glee live. Meanwhile Flo and I headed to the local park with picnic and blankets, and neighbours Janice and Mathilde, for the Hastings Proms. It was brilliant, held in the huge big top erected for the weekend's beer festival. After an hour of clapping and cheering Flo nodded off, leaving Janice and I to sing along and polish off a couple of bottles of red. On Saturday our lovely friend from Sydney, Laura arrived for the weekend. It was brilliant to see her as always, she made a huge fuss of the girls, and we talked and talked into Saturday night. You might like to buy Laura's new cookbook My Grandmother's Kitchen, available in all good bookshops now. On Sunday Dad and Alexandra, Maria and Lol and the boys joined us for lunch on the sunny deck, before we collapsed in front of Night at the Museum 2 and Rob fell asleep in the armchair, like the old (but groovy, see above) Dad he is. P.S - quote of the weekend was from Laura, when mentioning her cousin's wedding, that she travelled to the UK to attend. "It was lovely. Kate Winslet was at my table and served me my dessert", in the most casual of tones.
