I do love a long weekend – J&R kindly let me gatecrash their planned weekend with Clare & Andy, providing me with a Friday night on the cottage sofa, surrounded by 3 dogs, Scrumpy, Flossy & Smudge, while they were off at Chichester Theatre. Which was – unusually – pretty cack on this occasion so I def won the 'who had the best evening' contest.<\/p>\n

Two days then spent dog walking, pub lunching, enjoying some sun in the garden, picking up the winos (J, C & A) from the nearby vineyard after some early evening sampling, eating a beef mountain and generally making the most of Sussex in the spring.<\/p>\n

And apologies to Ross for Scrumpy poohing on the carpet, which he trod in at 1am..<\/p>\n

Followed by a trip with Nicky to Marlow, to see how Jane & Soph are getting on with baby Martha. With a pop in from Mel too, and timid doggy Dash. Check out those shandies – my how times have changed…<\/p>\n

Still laughing at the photo of Scrumpy practically breaking her neck to watch Soph's snack in case it magically fell into her open chops… <\/p>\n

As Soph said, it was quite emotional to think about how things have changed – she now has a baby, they live in Marlow which isn't quite as handy as Earlsfield, Nicky may be moving to London Bridge.. but always good to get the next meet date in the diary to be damn sure we keep in touch whatever and wherever we may be x <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
