A lovely day with family not seen for 23 years.
What a lovely day. Roger's dad suggested we go crew to visit some family myself and Elizabeth have never met and Roger hasn't seen for 23 years. We arrived at Tracy's and immediately were made to feel at home. It was a bit like Roger had seen her yesterday and we had all been friends for years.
I went to visit Cathleen and Graim last time I was in Wales but they have moved up to Crew now to be nearer family. Roger was so pleased to see them all with being an only child and his farther an only child he really doesn't have much family. Roger and Tracy share the same Great granny.
Elizabeth thought it was just great to have 2 more cousins Jodie & Lauren (twins) are just a year younger than Elizabeth so they all got on famously and have promised to keep in touch. I believe they have sorted between them that they are going to come to us for a visit in the summer holidays.
The Roger and Paul did a BBQ lunch which was absolutely lovely. I few glass's of wine were shared just to help the party feel along I still can't believe that Roger hasn't seen them for 23 years. I don't think that will happen again.
Cath & Brian live in Australia most of the time so it was a real treat to be able to meat them.
Life is to short to let it slip by. If you haven't seen a family member for a while pick up the phone to say Hi. You never know when they will no longer be there to say hello to.
love as always
