Hi ya Rob & Kirstin
Your Mum has been here this weekend, yes with your Mini - it's parked in the road where boy racers are every night (only kidding). Mum has shown me how to get into your blog this morning and am finding it so interesting, sounds like you are both having the time of your lives - so envious! Keep safe and will contact you both again, by the way Rob love the beard! Paul and Julie send their love.
