Nana's Visit

Lesley arrived safely on Friday evening for a short visit. On Saturday she got to see Tom at his baseball practice and then we had Tim, Deanna and the kids over for the afternoon and some dinner.
Then on Sunday we drove up to Horseshoe Bend National Park which is about an hour and a half drive from here and it tied in nicely with Tom's Alabama history lessons at school as it is the setting for a battle between Gen Andrew Jackson and the Creek Indians. So we spent a pleasant few hours strolling around the countryside and having a picnic. As you can see it was a beautiful day.
Monday came round all too quickly and the children were back to school and Nick was back at work so Lesley & I went for a mooch around the garden centres and bought some flowers for the borders and some replacement ferns for the ones that died. We got them all planted up on Tuesday before all the rain came on Wednesday...and Thursday!
Then this morning we went to see Lily in her school play before heading off to the airport for Lesley to catch her flight home :(
