Lovely Family Birthday Weekend
We have just had a lovely family birthday weekend. it was my Mums 80th birthday and we booked the cottage for 3 nights to give her, and us, a few days holiday with all of the family under one roof. We couldn't all quite fit, there's lots of us, but over the weekend we had a lot of fun and a lot of visitors. The house is beautiful with pretty much everything we needed including a (very rare) excellent corkscrew! Everything was clean and in good order, with lots of space. Only niggles were small, the lights in the kitchen need some attention and it was odd not to have any kitchen roll or a pint of milk in the fridge, and it was a birthday weekend but no welcome fruit basket or bottle of plonk, but everything else made up for the niggles. Highlights included a well maintained hot tub with views across the countryside, a fierce wood burning stove in the main living room and friendly neighbours that gave us apples to make a pie. The local village is pretty with a decent pub, the Ribchester Arms, for hearty (huge) plates of food and a funky (yes, funky, but in a good way) garden centre and restaurant serving excellent quiche, a wine 'shed' with an extremely good selection and other little shops and treats. We had a wonderful weekend and my Mum loved it, a perfect little break.
