Flights back from San Francisco followed by Sunday lunch in Coventry 24 hours later.
We may have been heavily jet-lagged but we weren't missing the lovely Bet's 90th lunch at the Millpool. Ian did a great job of driving down the M6 (and back up again) without falling asleep and Bet, with her "Cheeks like Clouds" was delighted we had made the effort.
She loved her chopping board with its cakes and dancing shoes.
And she loved her cushion with my (omg how cute, proper sewing) chain stitch :)
Natasha bought Bet the biggest 90 badge she could find and Bet just beamed all afternoon, surrounded by her friends and four generations of family.
Liddy surprised us all with an ode that was EPIC and as a result I think we all learned a few things about Bet.
She was christened Betty, was the youngest of six children, learned ballet (and still has the toes to prove it) and worked at The Co-Op (!!!)(YAY!) in her youth.
