A BUSY WEEK THAT WAS

Last Monday saw Grandad attend the local hospital to have his new hearing aid fitted. Perhaps the television volume might get turned down now?
On Tuesday Grandad managed to see two films. He went to Hull as usual to see Cemetery Junction and then to Pocklington in the evening to see Sex & Drugs & Rock and Roll - one film he had missed.
Wednesday saw Nanna and Grandad take me up to Burton Agnes Hall where they bought season tickets to the grounds. I enjoyed a good run through the woods managing to root out a couple of pheasants.
On Thursday Nanna and Grandad went off to Hull to see a film called The Ghost calling at Pizza Express on the way back. Nanna then joined Katy to watch Dawn playing violin at a local concert.
Friday saw Nanna off to her usual dancing classes whilst Grandad went off to see a film called Date Night.
On Saturday evening N & G went to watch the Driffield Male Voice Choir.
Sunday saw Nanna leave very early to join Katy watching Dawn in a Gymnastics competition.

Last Saturday Nanna and Grandad went to the Bell in Driffield for a couple of drinks followed by a short walk rould the corner to the Muskan Spice for a curry.

This was followed on Sunday by dinner with Katy, Paul and Dawn (Katy cooked) of thai fishcakes, roast chicken and trifle. And yes Dougal got some dinner too. The champagne was courtesy of Uncle Colin & family.

Nanna and Grandad had lots of cards, a garden rose from Uncle Simon, Auntie Karen, Martin and Michael, and another rose from Auntie Katy, Uncle Paul, Dawn, Jamie and Georgia.

Heres to the next 40 years.

HULL FC V WARRINGTON

Grandad went to see Hull play Warrington yesterday together with Uncle Simon, Auntie Karen, Martin and Mikey. They went by train rather than drive. A good match and enjoyable but Hull lost !

EARLY ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION


All the family joined Nanna and Grandad at The Lounge in Driffield last Saturday night for an early celebration of their 40th wedding anniversary. An excellent night was had by all.
