About Me
- CampervanChef
- Welcome to the new Campervan Chef blog! This started out life as a blog called 'Kylie's Kitchen' and ran out of steam some time ago. Since then life has changed and Kylie's Kitchen as it stood is no more. I started out as an an enthusiastic home cook but now work as a chef and cook for others in all sorts of situations. You'll find out more about this side of me if you keep tabs on my scribbles on here. I blog about food and cooking, life, family, friends and pets. I will also be keeping you up to date with our travels to our second home; the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and the dog shelter we support there. Join us as our journey through life continues...

Father's Day
A difficult Father's Day yesterday over at Wendywoo's Mum and Dad's as Jen was feeling a bit rough but she rallied round during the day. Arthur seemed to have a lovely day in the circumstances with some thoughtful gifts from his children; a cake baked by Joe's own fair hands (with full 121 instruction from Lisa), a shirt from David and Louise (in two sizes as they couldn't decide) and a lovely photo, from The Woo, of his uncle and the VC he had won during WWI which is currently in a Manitoba museum. He wanted a steak treat for lunch so it was duly served all round with roast potatoes, green beans and peas. The lovely Lisa rang during the evening with news that she had found a recliner for Jen and they were dropping it off within the hour so it was a mad rush to make room before it was dropped off and duly tried and tested by Jen (amongst others)...I won't tell tales but the massage cycle seemed a bit TOO much of a hit with the girls!

Oooh George,I felt quite emotional after reading this. I've typed and retyped this comment as no comments seemed to be enough. You gave so much thought into Arthur's day even though it was your fathers' day too. I bet he had a lovely day and Jen too, knowning her folk were all together making it a special day.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you and Wendy x
It was a special day and they are very special people. I thought about my Dad a lot during the day. He died over 25 years ago now but I know that he would be proud to see me where I am now and surrounded by such lovely family; both my own two boys and The Woo's bunch! The Coppins clan have welcomed me in with open arms and I feel truly blessed to be a part of it all; even in such shite circumstances.
DeleteMuch love in return to you and Mr Hill (and of course the little Hummocks!) x
