Family Time

Exactly a month since we were last home, so we planned to go home for a few days, see everyone and catch the annual Victorian Fayre in Worcester.

As it was en route, it was also a perfect opportunity to break the journey and stop off at the In-Laws in Newport Pagnell, it was two months since we’d last seen them.

This time we had Rowley with us, which meant a bit of juggling with the dogs. Rowley can be a bit anti social with some dogs, Dodger is huge and Mutley is a yapper and we weren’t brave enough to allow all three to have the run of the house.

I’d really like to get them together next time we’re there.

Mum in Law is nearly 94 and still as bright as a button, she still trots round faster than I can and the only real sign of her age is she just gets smaller and smaller, in fact we don’t think she’ll die. We think one day she’ll just disappear. 

Her eyesight is failing somewhat and hearing her and my Brother in Law, who sadly is suffering from Dementia but can see perfectly, arguing over the Daily Mail Crossword, is very entertaining.

My Sister in Law has her hands full looking after the pair of them and deserves a medal. I’m hoping we can go and stay for a bit longer and between us and the Carers, who come in 4 times a day, maybe we can give her a bit of a break.
