Happy 40th Birthday Andrew

Today we headed down to Jill's house on Hayling to help celebrate my cousin Andrew's 40th birthday. It was so lovely to see all the cousins together, a great chance to catch up.





Mya was worn out with all the socialising and slept all the way home!

Seeing Katherine, Denzil and Family

We've just been up to Old Thorns' Starbucks in Liphook to catch up with Katherine, Denzil, and Katherine's Mum and Sister.


It was so lovely to see them all. I've done my best to sell the benefits of New Zealand in the hope that their next holiday will be to come and visit us!

Lunch Out

On a recommendation, we had lunch today at The Deck in Emsworth. We had a yummy seafood lunch with views overlooking the deck houses and the sea.



Even the dogs were catered for with their own Poop Deck area, love it!

Lunch at Emsworth

Granny Rose, Mya and I went to lunch at Brenda and Jim's today.
So wonderful to see them, they both look so well. Whilst we had a lovely lunch, Mya enjoyed playing on one if Brenda's beautiful homemade quilt and cushions.

Evening Cuddles

Mya loves to have Granddad time before bottle and bed.

Catching up with Lawrence

We saw Lawrence today at his home in Southampton.

We had a quick chat with Nuala (his wife) before she headed off. Their gorgeous boys Xavier and Finnian are delightful. Xavier, in particular, loved cuddling and kissing Mya, so sweet.


It was lovely to have a chance to catch up with Lawrence. They think they may come out and visit us in the next couple of years next year.

When we got back in the afternoon, Mya and I popped down to Len's house to say hi and take a look at some of his photos of dearest Patricia.

Hair styling!

This morning I caught Granny Rose doing her hair. I know it's a bit mean but couldn't resist catching it on camera. I thought I'd found myself in the re-make of Star Wars!
