Home from Home 2











Second Half of the trip we had enjoyed Gem's wedding and Merryn's Christening, and headed to Wales. We took the girls to the Beach and visited Cardiff Castle. Granpy got to show off his veggy garden. We got to see Rhyd's sports day and Evie and Merryn got to race in the toddlers race. It was great to catch up with Alun and Vicky and chill out in sunny Wales.


From Cardiff we headed to Bristol and caught up with Friends, plenty of drinking and socializing. Freya and Merryn had a sleepover at Chris and Rob's. Freya was very excited about it. Sarah and I went to a pirate party which was good fun . This was followed by a bbq the next day in Bath with Viv and then on to Helen and Miles. In the last 7 days of our trip we stayed in 7 different places. We had a good catch up with the Ashtons. Then back to Cardiff to say our farwells. Then up to Bromsgrove to give the 600 back and say goodbye to Marian and Bryan and Carol and Malcolm. We then hired a car to drive to Croydon to see Lorna and Dan. We had a lovely time, Dan cooked a mean pork dish and we had a nice little tour of the area. Our last day we visited a great little zoo/Farm the weather was great.. It was a brilliant way to finish our trip.


Our Flight back to Nz went well the Girls were awesome again. We got back to the worst storm to hit NZ for 10 years. lots of rain and wind but we made it home ok.
