Hello Harper. How really lovely to hear from you! I am sorry to have been so slow replying. I have been rather (very) lazy with my blog recently, and hadn’t noticed your comment. But I have been lucky enough to actually see you, both on the beach at Hastings and at the family gathering in Wales later in August.
I hope we see each other again soon. Please give my love to your family, and keep lots for yourself.

You’re so right, Yvonne. It’s lovely for the younger ones to see more of their cousins as they all grow up, in fact such fun for all the generations.
It is easier to talk about than do! And has to be planned well in advance so everyone can find accommodation and make sure they can get some days’s leave from work. But it really is so worth it.
