Our First Visitors

We were very excited to have our first visitors from home come today! Fran and Andrew have been traveling around all over the place for business and had the chance to stop by Taunton to see us! It was so nice to have a catch up with them and find out about some of the wonderful places they have been to. The world is just an amazing place!


It really didn't seem that long ago that we said our goodbyes to them in Tassie. Our time here is just going so quickly and we have so much more to see! We are going to be having a very very busy couple of months now. Mum and Dad are here in about 3 weeks and Gail, Philip and Nanny K are here just a few days after they leave. How exciting. We are really looking forward to spending time with all of them and can't wait for them to arrive! Where are we going to take them and what are we going to do!!? So much to think about....

But for now we are enjoying our little trip around the North of England! Michael is on a week of annual leave so we are going to find out where some of these many roads lead to! We left this afternoon and are in Kenilworth, Warwickshire at the moment. Tomorrow we will be visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare... how cool is that!!

Just the beginning of many from now on. Can't wait. You will need a holiday when we have all finished. The weather looked very summery again in your pic with Fran. Please save some for us.

And yes Aim - I was a little surprised they used the blow dryer!!!! The lady even asked me if she would be okay with a shampoo - and i was like no, I think just spray will be fine thanks! lol!!!

So for some reason I thought I had read all of this blog but I have been wondering where you have been (not online) and then I read that you are tripping all over the country side. You WILL need another week off after all your visitors - I reckon you'll be sick to death of them by the time we get there. But thats okay cause it will be SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
