We had a wonderful long weekend this week with a very special guest visiting - Aunty Liz.

Liz arrived on Thursday afternoon and the boys were so excited to pick her up from the airport and even more excited by the presents she had brought when we got home! Liz and I spent a lovely evening with lots of red wine and catching up on Thursday night which was lovely. Friday morning we had breakfast at Fidels and spent the rest of the morning shopping and having morning tea before picking up the boys. Friday evening and we had a surprise visit from Olga who joined us for dinner and some wine of course and made us all laugh as usual.

Saturday morning was Liz's birthday so the boys and I made a chocolate cake in the morning before we headed off with the boys to the library in the pouring rain and left the boys with Adrian while I took Liz for lunch to the Long Bar for a delicious Malaysian lunch. We had a lazy afternoon before Chris and Sue joined us for fish and chips and birthday cake that evening - and of course far too much red wine again!

Sunday morning Adrian took the boys to the park while Liz helped me with the housework including my ironing which I NEVER do and so it's a bit of a treat looking at all the beautifully ironed clothes in the wardrobe (hope Adrian doesn't get used to that!) we had a visit to Jeremy and Anna in the afternoon and then Liz then flew home Sunday night.

It was so lovely to see you Liz and we had a fantastic time, thanks for coming and for spoiling the boys so wonderfully!

This just in.... Jeremy and Anna had a bouncing baby boy last night (1st May at 8:00pm) called Simon Nicholas, he weighs in at 4kg's mum, dad, libby and baby all doing brilliantly - congratulations!!
