Family

This weekend...my baby sister finally made it to visit me!

She arrived along with my father and her husband and we spent two days together.

She had finally gotten round to having the dog vaccinated so he could go into kennels but as she is going off to Canada shortly with my nephew for a rugby tour, it was hardly done just so she could come and visit me...lol

We had a lovely weekend.

My sister and her hubby stayed in a nice little hotel at Barry Island called The Mount Sorrel which she really likes seeing as it has a gym, a pool and a bar!

We had my father stay with us and it was an experience I was dreading. He lives in a bungalow and was stopping in the attic bedroom which meant two flights of stairs!

And Kevin was so worried he even offered to let Dad sleep in our room to save him going up another extra flight of stairs.

As it happened the visit went really well.

Kevin and Dad had an hour or so on their own Friday evening before I got home and it's the first time in almost 10 years that they've actually had to spend personal time alone without the cushion of the family around them.

Both Barbara and I were a bit worried about them not having much to say but it seems they were sitting chatting for a couple of hours.

Barbara was firmly of the opinion that as the eldest and the one who would tell Dad to hush I was the best person to be around Dad for his break away from Burton and to be fair to him, he stayed happily at the house, even laughing and joking about not being used to climbing stairs and having to deal with two set...lol

We had a great afternoon out at Barry Island Crazy Golf Course but hells bells, the men in my family are so competitive...lol

I have loads of photos to post here but need to work out how to set them all up neatly. Suffice to say...a lovely time for all of us and one which will hopefully be repeated now we know that my Dad is ok about coming down and leaving my Mum and that he is ok going up and down stairs and most importantly my sister has found herself a nice little hotel that is within working distance of the house!

Look out for more random ramblings from me soon!
