Yesterday was a really good day, the kids had been invited to Robs cousin's birthday party, we decided it would be nice to see them, as it has been a while since we got together. The party consisted of trampolining and bouncy castling for an hour and then lunch. There were 16 children in total all aged between 5 and 7 and only two boys, they did however play the games and where are jumped out by the time the food was served. Oh did I mention we drove from Hampshire to Berkshire to attend a two hour party? No, well now I have.
The drive however was made very worthwhile by us going to a local pub and having a few drinks and some eats ourselves. However rewarding it was though I feel it was the company that made it extremely worthwhile. Robs cousin Wendy and her husband Gerard are fabulous and the conversation is funny and very "homegrown".
Wendy's sister Lara has recently moved back to NZ, while their brother lives in Aus in Brisbane. They survived the floods thanks to living on the 3rd floor of an apartment building. We were sad to hear that Wendy and her family are planning to move to Autralia. But it did make me realise that they are very close, they all moved to the UK to be near their mom, who passed away a few years ago, and now they are all migrating back together.
As much as I wish all my family could be together, it's good to know that we are very close in spirit and that no amount of space or time can really seperate us, although it would be bloody great to have a drink together in a pub somewhere in the middle of no-where every once in a while.
In love and light
