Bristol

We are back in Bristol staying with our good friends the Dormans in Henleaze. Had a fabulous time in Northern Ireland. We had lovely sunshine for our whole 11 days. We hired a car this time and that made a real difference as we were able to scoot about and explore a bit more without relying on family. My mum's wedding went very well. It was good to see lots of the family in one place. I learnt a bit more Scots Ulster from my grandfather. My new word is spalpeen - which means little rascal when addressed to Ethan running around destroying things and grabbing little girls (his new favourite game).

It looks like Ian may be off to New York State next week to be followed by me and ethan a week or so after that. We are awaiting confirmation of his expenses. All abit last minute as his flight back to NZ is supposed to be on Monday! Nothing like keeping us on our toes.

Meanwhile we look forward to a great weekend here with a meal with Martin and Ellie tomorrow night, the Davies on Saturday and Sunday lunch with the Bensons and the nelsons.
