BBQ

I've been at work all day today, usual Sunday ~ C'est le Vive! Andrew's been out in the garden putting in the bedding plants.Got home just after 5pm to find the BBQ fired up, our first one this year :O) Andrew had made loads of different kebabs, honey glazed chicken, jerk chicken, minty lamb all with peppers, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes ~ yum!! Plus burgers, sausages and corn on the cob. We had a green salad to nibble on with the BBQ and a scrumdiddlyumptious fruit salad for afters with raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, grapes and water melon. Flip me, my mouths watering just thinking about it. Then, if that wasn't enough we had 2 bags of marshmallows to roast :O) The kids loved it and so did I. Andrew spoils us so much!! The usual jokes were made and a lot of fun was being had and to top it all the weather was gorgeous. Lisa took this photo to show the temerature :O)Andrew doing what he does best. My gorgeous daughter Gemma Lisa playing with Elena Tamagochi This is Elena's excited face ~ France tomorrow :O)The phone went and it was Nana Jean (Andrew's Mum) and he disappeared back inside the house with it. He was gone ages so I went to find him. To cut a long story short, Chris (Andrew's BinL who visited us at May Bank Holiday with Claire and the children) had been away all weekend, something to do with work. Claire had got a text from him saying, great hotel, great food, great sex!! It had been sent to her by mistake {gasp} and the bottom of her world just fell out from under her, poor thing. She confronted him when he arrived home and he admitted everything and told her he didn't love her the b*st*ard!!! Her children are 12 & 9 and no, she didn't have a clue and neither did we a couple of weeks ago either. They've even paid for a fortnight in Tenerife starting 21st June and Chris had told Claire to go and get herself some new clothes and sunglasses. Gees, we all know why now!! Aren't some men total ars*h*les. Poor Claire and there is nothing we can do, nothing anyone can do.
I suggested we went for a walk and Andrew agreed, he looked really wound up. We walked down into Sandown and across the sea front. I made him talk to me about his feelings, which he won't do voluntarily, and we had a long chat then we heard someone shout Andrew from the beach and spotted little Kim with her family. We went down on the sand and I met Samuel for the first time. He's 10 weeks old and absolutely gorgeous. I even had a cuddle and I tell you, I didn't want to give him back. He has a brother Luke, who's nearly 3 and what a little darling he is too. Here he is playing with his cousin KyrilDo you know, if someone had told me this morning, by the end of the day that Andrew's sister had split up from her husband because he'd been cheating on her and I would be cuddling a little baby on the beach, I'd have never believed them. Isn't life strange?
