We had a late flight, so we were up early exercising before heading off to the beach. According to my three weather apps, it was going to be a very windy day, and we’d already experienced the Sahara winds earlier in the week, which turned everything a darker shade of orange. After scouting the three beaches, we found a sheltered spot on the western side and went in for what was a surprisingly calm swim, given the ever increasing winds. Meanwhile, on the main beach behind us, people were windsurfing in some very lively-looking seas. The temperature was perfect for nodding off though, which is what we did for a couple of hours, before our little secluded spot became overrun.
We were on a late flight back to Stansted, but it wasn’t too bad. Although we didn’t get to Mum’s until after 2 am, we try to make it a rule not to catch flights that arrive at unsociable hours. However, one of the reasons for taking this flight was that Seb and Ally were having the official opening of their new dental practice. So, the following day, together with Mum, we made the two-and-a-half-hour drive up the A1 to Huddersfield, where the practice is located. The event was due to start at 2 pm, and we were actually on time (my timekeeping is rubbish!). Ally knew that we were coming, but Seb didn’t, so we entered into the “Wonder of Wellness” (their brand).
The practice had been open for a while, but they’d only recently completed the renovation, and the place looked great. We snuck in with the other guests, and Seb hadn’t seen us, so when he came down the staircase into reception, he was shocked and pleased, I think, to see us all and gave Mum the guided tour, which really lifted her spirits. The guys have done a great job with all of the changes they’ve made, both visually and with the folks they have working around them. They both looked so happy, and we left feeling proud of them and what they’d achieved so far. The weather’s been pretty good, so we’ve been keeping Mum busy, walking her around the local area, which I have to say has been a real treat for us all.
