Our three family Tudors have gone to Kentwell for the four day May event so R is staying with us again. Hubby is meeting up with old friends all day Saturday and at a Blood Runners event all day Sunday.
R needs to go to bed at a reasonable time Friday night to get up, ready and out by 10am Saturday. TICK
I need to take her to drama and wait till she's done (while knitting) TICK
R needs to be reminded to extra extra brush her teeth ready for the orthodontist next Tuesday. TICK
R needs to be encouraged to do physical stuff as she has joint problems if sitting too long. TICK
I need to do my physio exercises, she'll do them with me. TICK (I did them 4 days, R did them 1) TICK
R needs to repot her gooseberry bush that we look after for her TICK (granddad did most of it)
R wants to make a tricky dessert worthy of a French patisserie TICK
We need to shop for the ingredients. TICK
She needed baking rings I don't have, so we had soup for lunch and I made rings from the cans.
Neighbours/friendsP&A were entertaining a large group (22ish) for Sunday lunch some of which were visitors from Romania (they go over annually to do charity work with them). They were all meeting at church then coming back straight after the service and P&A asked if I could cook some food to be ready for when they get back. ....so early morning three prepared lasagnes arrived, thankfully they were ready, not burnt, in time! TICK
Monday morning up and sort the kitchen for our usual coffee morning and a very full house as bank holiday for those that are normally at work TICK
SisterS and bilK want to holiday with us again, this time September as sisterS is retiring in July so no longer restricted by term time. I came up with some choices and we decided on the driving through France option. So I suggested a route and a time-line which they agreed on and I now need to book three hotels (main destination for six nights plus overnight stop on the way down and back), and book the Eurostar train return tickets. TICK for two hotels, so hard going through and checking details and booking what we hope they will like. One more hotel and train still to book.
Yet again Daughter had problems with her car on the way there Friday and she has ignored it all weekend as it didn't need to move. So this afternoon instead of driving here, collecting R, then all going home for dinner, she stayed at Kentwell and called out the RAC, Hubby also drove there to bring E and O home so they could be home and fed instead of hanging around for hours, meanwhile R and I had dinner here. She was being towed to our local garage and has just text Hubby to meet get there, she'll then being him home, collect R and keep my car until her's is fixed! Parents always on hand TICK

Love the ticks! And that R's dessert has been produced to be delicious AND look just as it is in the picture :-).
M&C were reenacting this weekend too but much closer to home which is easier for me. Kentwell commuting takes too much out of me really.
Not sure if R will tackle such a tricky bake for a while but she was pleased with her own achievement. Shame about kentwell travel, if only someone else was going from your area that could add two more to their car. Hope they enjoyed your local event.
They had a wonderful time. They were at Chiltern Open Air Museum. An amazing place.
