Well, it has been a busy few days ... we have just arrived home from a trip down south. Auntie Mel and Uncle Andrew were in the country, so they all decided to catch up!
First stop was London, where they caught a show - Chigaco. The semi naked women dancing and singing on stage kept Dad and Uncle Andrew awake, although the group was all pretty buggered. Mum and Dad were just buggered from the trip down, but at least Mel and Andrew had jet-lagged as an excuse!
Next morning they were up early, and after a nice walk in Hyde Park in the crisp autumn morning, it was off to pick up the hire car and a drive down to Brighton. It was still lovely and sunny, and nice for a stroll along the pier. Dad even got a bit burnt. Fingers crossed I don't inherit his fair skin!! Mum was tempted by the smell of the fresh doughnuts ... and so was a seagull that picked the doughnut out of Dad's hands!!
Saturday it was off to Leeds Castle, with a stop off in Hastings along the way! Just like driving along the Mornington Peninsula outside of Melbourne, so many towns with the same name! Hastings was another seaside town, but with a nicer feel than Brighton as it didn't seem to have all the tourist trappings. Leeds Castle was quite magnificent!
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and it was time to come home. Back to work again tomorrow.
