One of Jon’s best mates was getting married at Langley Castle, Northumberland on the Friday … and it was Callum’s 5th Birthday on the Sunday! We were just so very thankful that the wedding was on the Saturday else we’d be splitting ourselves in two.
The wedding was fantastic. The Castle was a wonderful setting and the weather was on the side of the Bride and Groom. The ceremony was a little unusual … with a Harrier Hawk carrying the wedding rings into the room to the Best Man (typically Mick!) and in between the ceremony and reception, there was a display of hawks, falcons and owls flying around the grounds.
Great wedding guys and thank you so much so letting us share your special day.
The music in the evening was provided by an old school friend of Mick's ... and there was a special performance (errr ... massacre-ing) of Safety Dance by Mick, Pat and Mark!
On the Saturday, we drive back home. Having debated M1 vs M6 over breakfast (we were mid-way between the two) we opted for M1 … big mistake as M1 was closed north of Nottingham. So we ended up making a small detour via the M62, M61, M6, Toll Road, M42 and M40 back home! At least we kept moving and weren’t stuck in traffic with no where to go.
Callum had had a ball with Mum and Dad whilst we were away – THANK YOU!!
Callum woke bright and not too early on Sunday and was very excited. He loved all of his presents and was thrilled to get a DS (or at least he was once Daddy showed him what he could play on it!). He also loved his Buzz & Woody and Toy Story stuff, the transport books, the Lego, the Stig Car, and his first ever proper Newcastle shirt!!
With things being so hectic, Karen’s family came over on the Monday evening after his first full day at school, along with Kian & Riley.
Callum is now on count-down until Dan’s 5th Birthday!!
