Summer visit
Olivia Graeme and Mia arrived on Friday night. They had been on the Isle of Man following the TT races. They stayed with us for 5 days, the weather was beautiful and they were able to relax and watch english speaking tv. They said that being here (when the weather is hot and sunny) reminds them of Mullumbimby.
On Saturday we walked up to the next village for the village fete.... as we arrived the brass band were playing. There was a little dog show, some classic cars, skittles but sadly no meringues!!! We walked back, had some food and lit the fire basket in the garden.
On Sunday we built a dead hedge in the field just infront of the summerhouse. It turned out really well and it was fun being up there. Mia collected a whole tub of grass seeds.... including bugs.
On Monday Tel left early for his flight to San Francisco for a work meeting and I went off to work too. When I got home Graeme was cutting some potatoes when he knocked a bottle of olive oil off the table...it smashed on the floor and he stood on a big piece of glass and cut his foot. Olivia took over and made a lovely meal of steak and potatoes. We watched Big Brother. Graeme has picked out the one with the monobrow as his winner.
On Tuesday I met them in town and we had fish and chips. We took in the views on the way home and finished the day with some vintage first series Mighty Boosh. Brilliant.
I took them to the airport on Wed for their flight back to Berlin. We listened to the England game on the radio on the way. Mia had her England cap on.... hope she doesnt get into trouble wearing it in Berlin.... especially if England beat Germany on Sunday.
It was lovely having them here again. We talked about Australia and our recent trip there.... how Olivia and I feel about the place and the people.... and it was good to share our thoughts. x
We look forward to visiting them In Berlin soon. x x
