Moments with Mother


Had a lovely last day in the UK.  

It's been a great week. We discovered Fat Toni's Pizza, which makes pizzas bigger than your head...



Had a last pootle to Bourton-on-the-Water with dad to pick up some Cotswold perfume for mum. Stopped off for tea in a tea shop with lots of tea pots.





Then we met up with mum, Merrick, Aunty Patsy, my cousin Mary and her daughter Felicity on Thursday. Mary and Felicity were on their way from Market Harborough, near where mum lives, to  Swansea Gower, where Patsy lives, so we met halfway in Gloucester to celebrate mum and Patsy's birthdays.

We gathered at the Brewhouse on Gloucester docks. They're a brewpub, serving their own beers. One of which is named after Simon Pegg, a famous resident of Gloucestershire. A favourable tipple. 

I hadn't seen my 1st cousin once removed (Felicity) since she was a baby. She's grown into a wonderfully bendy young lady.

 


We bonded over a shared interest in origami. She made the swan and I made the flower.
