Family day

---

Today turned out to be a day to visit relatives. First we went to see George and Beb, home for lunch, then off to watch Anita at her riding lesson. Finally, coffee with Nicola, with free entertainment provided by Jakob and Hannah. I booked a hostel for a couple of days (starting tomorrow) up north - we stayed there a month ago and wanted to go back with more time to look around. The weather looks set for a day or two, fingers crossed. May not get much blogging done though!.

George and Beb
say thanks for the carnations!

Anita and Hannah(the pony) after the fourth lesson! What confidence!

Anita
learns to put all the tack away after each lesson - just in case she gets a pony of her own!

Hannah
meanwhile, gave us a demonstration of the skill which earned her excellent marks in her ballet exam - so good that she won a term's free lessons.

Jakob
had just bought this toy which gives access to lots of computer games, even golf - and I saw him get a hole in one too!

Murphy
If you look carefully, you can see that puppy. He hasn't grown a lot since we last saw him, just gone a darker colour.

What are you doing???
Dear Carrie and Alex, We are so glad you broke our drought, but the hail storms were a bit much....and now there are earthquakes in New Zealand! We had best warn Wales before you return!!! Seriously though, I am so pleased to be able to read all your news and see the photos. I am so glad you are having such a lovely time! Keep on blogging....
