Eleanor arrived with a home made Banana Cake, she knew it was a favourite of mine and the smell was delicious.
We had a nice meal together followed by carrot cake I had made from a packet and Eleanor’s Banana cake made from scratch, at 13 years old she puts me to shame !
We then played, what seems to have become our favourite game. 12 or 18 strips of raffle tickets were torn in half, and one half separated into single tickets and placed in a bag. A number of presents all wrapped were placed in the centre of the table and as soon as your ticket was pulled you received a gift and unwrapped it, then the fun began, as the next ticket pulled meant you could take someone’s gift, this went on for quite a while until there were no more tickets and you kept whatever you had ‘won’. Just a silly easy game with no thinking !
It was nice hearing Abigails’ choices for University next year, even though she had no idea where the places were... think someone needs to buy her a Sat Nav before she goes ! I am so proud of both girls and their handling of the Covid situation, after months trying Abigail has also managed to get some part time work, her first job.

It is so nice to be able to see our families & friends again, but we all need to still be careful. The game looks fun
Oh I can so understand how you feel. So special. And I love games too. Last week I went to a luncheon and the hostess had prepared a game for us. Three dice with marks for left, center and right and coins ending up in a gift. It was a lot of fun and I ordered the dice immediately. Can't wait to try them out with the boys.
