Woke just before nine and came down, had coffee and went on line and did a few bit, spoke to ant then had a bath and got dressed. I drove up to Lille in plenty of time, parking at the station was full so had to hunt for a space in the shopping center next door. Got to the train station but there was no train due in at ten past twelve so i got a little worried, spoke to the guy in the info desk and he told me it would be arriving at Lille Flanders so i sprinted over there, the train was delayed, i had a little look on one of their machines and realized there were two trains, one arriving at Lille Europe so i ran back over there just in case and hunted through the station. I realized mum was not there so ran back and finally found her, thank god.
We had a hug and left the station and took her case to the car then settled down in Paul the Boulangers tea room for a bit of lunch, quite a nice quiche and salad followed by a nice cake. We headed over to Lille Europe and sat with coffee whilst we waited for ant to arrive, which he did on time. We headed home, got back around five and showed mum around the estate, she seemed quite taken with it, we had a cup of tea, phoned Mandy and got ant bathed. When everyone was in and settled we cracked open a bottle of sparkles and sat and chatted, then had a nice dinner, beuf en daube with roasties, a bit of cheese and a bit of tart tartin for desert then sat and chatted over more wine till we were ready for bed then said our good nights, i had a very nice cuddle with mum.
