Cause for a Double Celebration!

Yesterday (Wednesday) was Nana’s XXth birthday. (She doesn’t like it public knowledge, but it was her 92nd!)

We took her out for a surprise run to Masham, to the King’s Head, for a meal, and lo and behold it was market day too.

We then went on to Carperby, where her niece’s daughter and husband live. As Nana had never been before and was anxious to see what their new house looked like, we kept it a secret, and it wasn’t until we turned into to village of Carperby that she realised where she was. She still had no idea that we had informed Patricia (her niece’s daughter) that we would be calling, so she asked if we could drive by and show her where the house was. “We won’t call in,” she said, so it was quite a surprise for Nana when I pulled down their drive.

We left Caperby about 6.00 pm and as Ruby (our chocolate Labrador) hadn’t “paid a call.” I stopped in a grassy lay by near Lightwater Valley for her. Whilst we were stopped wifey rang Hannah, our youngest daughter, to be greeted by Hannah joyfully shouting “I’ve Passed!” This was to tell us that she has gained a BA (Hons) after her three years at Ormskirk Edge Hill University.

So delight all round.
