Surprising Mum and Dad

What a cracker that turned out to be. :-)

AS you all know I ended up at my sisters for my first night in Sandbach.  me and my niece went out for a drink, the first pub I have been in since arriving in the UK.

On Sunday it was my dads birthday, the family had arranged a surprise luncheon for him at the Old Hall.  Mum and Dad arrived in a taxi from church whilst I hid in a side room with my niece.  Once they were settled at the table my niece walked in with camera ready to capture their expression.

Putting my head around the door, I walked to the table, I was half way across the room when my mum espied me and her jaw dropped open, dad looked on slightly bemused, mum got up and a huge hug was given to each other. "How did you get here," she said.  "On a plane," I grinned, with tears in her eyes she let dad give me a hug too.  It was wonderful to see them.  The food was rather good as well.

Below is the jaw dropping moment that my niece captured on my camera.

Last but not least I thought you might like to see what the Old Hall in Sandbach looks like.  It is over 700 years old.  I will blog the history of Sandbach another time.
