Stafford

Sunday 27th September 2015

Tony was up early to get off to the gym and late morning my nephew Andy and his wife Mo arrived for the lunchtime get-together of the Ireland family which Tony had planned.
The lunch venue is a lovely pub, The Hollybush at Salt, situated a short drive from Stafford and here we are joined by Tony and Marg’s daughter and her husband Terry.We have had a number of very good meals here in the past but on this occasion
The chef appeared to have one his ‘off’ days especially with the roast beef Sunday roast and whilst mine was acceptable if a little tough T and M’s was inedible. These meals were duly returned and exchanged for the turkey roast which was a marked improvement.
In spite of this hiccup it was a very enjoyable if all-too-rare family reunion.
The infamous ‘tyranny of distance’ comes into sharper focus as we get older.
On return to T and M’s we made the most of a beautiful autumn afternoon out in their back garden.

Nothing much to report on the RWC other than the Wallabies, as expected, walloped Uruguay 65-3.
All in all a great family day.
Cheers
