Halloween. Tradition in our household  is to get Burkie out of work as quickly as we possibly can, and to hot foot it to the nearest hostelry that may be potentially free of out little ankle biting friends! Tonight was a huge success, and we departed for Ye Olde Number 3 in Lymm. with a nano second to spare! We were even within earshot of the immortal words " Where shall we go next?"....."Not my house" was indeed, the correct answer!

Up at the crack of dawn, to have a morning meeting over in Blackburn with the solicitors handling the acquisition of our Sandbach site. The contracts are all now in place and we should be the proud owners of another bit of "dirt!" within 3 weeks! Went to have a look at our Tesco site in Blackburn whilst in the locality, and David Wilson have started their build now, so full steam ahead on that project too!

Sad day. Went to see Curly`s Mum laid to rest at the Church in Weaverham. It was a lovely service and both Curly and Lucy did their Mum so proud. Ann had a lot thrown at her over the years but remained a stoic and determined Mother until the very end. R.I.P.

Wet, miserable day and the headache has reared it`s horrible little head again! 5 days now............getting a bit bored of it! Decided to head out and have a lazy breakfast seeing as we didn`t take advantage of the extra hour in bed. Went to Aiden Byrne`s restaurant in Lymm, and I have to say that the food was superb. If  a trifle generous in the portioning! Next time I`ll stick to a kiddies meal :)

Felt a bit better today so arranged to meet Donna and Dave at Dunham Massey. Was a lovely day.....blue skies, but bitingly cold. Had a lovely walk round the gardens before going for an early tea at The Swan With Two Nicks. Very chilled out day.

Poorly sick again today. Still got a headache which has since been accompanied by an overnight appointment with the bathroom! Feel really horrible ~ worst part is the cramps in my feet from dehydration! Touch wood I`ll be better tomorrow, as not used to feeling ill these days :(

6 years ago today, I lost one of my favourite people to ever walk this earth. Nana and I had the most amazing relationship ~ partly due to the fact that we are both adopted, but mostly due to the fact we shared so many hobbies and interests. Her memory is forever laid in stone at our hallowed Villa Park and I will miss her every day until I see her again.x
