It's been a frenetic start to the Easter Break but all the btter for it. We had a surprise visit from our University friend, Chris and his family, over from America for a family get together in Bournemouth. It's been a few years since last seeing them and they were surprised to see we had an extra member to the family with Maria.

She was delighted to see her two youngest cousins from Plymouth as we had a party to celebrate the completion of the building work. We managed to stay out in the conservatory all evening with the wood stove burning fuel fiercely all the while.

The next morning it was time for an Easter egg hunt and Bridie's Easter bunny cake.
