Thursday 5th May
We had a lovely day with the Chalmers clan in Basingstoke - only took a couple of wrong turns and arrived at Val's dear little flat and as we knocked on the door. No reply and an elderly lady nextdoor advised that 'the mother lived next door' so we knocked on the other door!!! Val is looking very well and of course we chattered ALL day - that did include Rich as well! Myles came in joined us for a while, but had work to do. We had a lovely lunch and later in the afternoon young Cooper arrived home from 'school' and later we all went to a fish and chip place for supper and Jenny and Phil joined us along with Wendi and Myles of course. We had a lovely evening (Myles we will sort you out sometime!!) and thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all after many years. Jenny & Phil took us out of the local road system and put us on the M3 and we sailed home thinking this is 'ease peasy' stuff, until we took a wrong turn in Woking!! Sorted it out and this morning we go to Kitchings - went half way there yesterday, so know the way!
