After

Lucie left at lunchtime for Portugal. She said good-bye to my mum in the morning and we went to my sister's in the morning so that she could say good-bye and spend a bit of time with her. I took her to the station and went back to my sister's, where there were about 15 of us to "finish the leftovers" - some people, who lived further away, had spent the night there, a couple couldn't be there at the party. It was a more relaxed day, sitting outside in the shade and chatting. Mum was tired so she stayed at home.
