Fabulous Salisbury with Sally

A dear friend Sally, lives in Salisbury and we were able to spend the night with her today.

She lives in a gorgeous terrace house - four stories in all.

I was so lucky to have a bedroom all to myself - here in the attic.  Isn't it gorgeous?

The kids were across the hallway from me and their dormer window looked out over the cathedral -something they were very excited to see.

We are coming back to see Sally around Easter - so looking forward to more than a rushed hello and goodbye.

Games with cousins

Family means a great deal to us, so getting to know cousins is pretty exciting.

We have spent a wonderful few days with Pierpoint cousins who live in Plymouth. We intend on visiting others up north later in April and are pretty excited about coming back to Plymouth to experience the seaside and outdoor pursuits in June.

Morgan and Lilly have really loved hanging with Tom - who though is 20 - has been so cool and very patient with them. Morgan has idolised him..and Miss Lilly has terrorised the poor lad!! She woke him this morning with cold water on his feet.. I think retribution tomorrow may be swift..

They've played a few different games.. Kerplunk .. And some card games..

Family Dinner in Plymouth

Wow.. I feel so blessed to reconnect with this side of our family again.  Its a bit convoluted..but take it as read .. that these are cousins on the Pierpoint side ( my mums) whom we have kept in contact with via Christmas cards for years and years.

We were really touched to have had a family dinner with all of the Wembury crew while we were here. Families - no matter how far removed have a special bond and it just felt so nice to be welcomed into arms and home and feel.. at home.  

Christine is so like my mum - it was hard to say goodbye when we did.. though its never goodbye.. its see ya.

We are trippilly delighted to be invited to Tamsins Wedding.. wooooooo hoooooo - in June.. I think I may be a bit more excited than she is.. ha ha!!
