Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Cannell of Laxey who won the draw for the Manx Tails competition and used their prize of dinner, bed and breakfast last Saturday night.
Sunday was my mother's birthday which we had originally planned to celebrate over lunch but it was so busy that we had to transfer it to the evening. The good news is that she still has enough puff to blow out the candles.
We all had a major surprise when my nephew who had been travelling in Australia for the last ten months turned up. Those of you with a long association with the Welbeck may remember him working for us but at a casual guess, I would reckon that was at least ten years ago.
Talking of our former employees, we'll be heading off that way soon to visit our son, Matthew who is still living in Surfers Paradise, Queensland. It's a hard life but someone has to do it and with a little luck we'll see another former member of staff, our daughter, Elizabeth, at Manchester Airport as she lives close by.
Apologies for the quality of this one but Lucy and Elizabeth flank retired Kitchen Porter though aspiring rock god, Terence.
Have no fear though, as the Welbeck will be in good hands in the lead up to us closing at Christmas as Alex and daughter no.2 Lucy will be in charge.
