Hi I have been away having lots of family time which has been brilliant. Started by staying with my brother and his wife who I hadnt seen for a year. Then my husbands brother and wife were about for a few days which we all enjoyed very much. Halfterm has seen our younger daughter staying with her family while they were busy sorting out her mother in laws home as she will move within the next year.

It has been lovely seeing the grandchildren again. Somehow both families though jabbed had COVID at the same time. I dont think it can be caught via whats app as the daughters hadnt seen each other for a month before they were all struck down. Only Gruff hasnt had COVID

I’m glad you got to spend time with family. If you were like I was for our July family reunion , I know your eyes were full of happy tears and your heart was swell almost to bursting!

I would like to ride in the car below. It’s fantastic!!!

It is wonderful to see family again! So happy you are having the opportunity to do so. Our son's wedding was put off for a year because of Covid - we've gotten our booster, so everything is a go for us as their wedding is in a couple of weeks. We are even going to meet for our Annual Thanksgiving 4 day event in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Last year, we each ate Thanksgiving dinner in our own homes and Facetimed. Did that for Christmas too last year. We still wear masks when we are out in public. Loads of hugs, Laura

Such a wonderful break away Caroline. So glad you got to see some of your family and am sorry that some had Covid. We are all wearing masks here in Newcastle still and I think will be for a while to come. Welcome back home, love Chris

I am glad you had a great time. Sorry that part of the family had gotten sick in spite of having been vaccinated.

Having fun on my travels. I have embroidery machines and my brother has this car which seats 4 and possibly 2 more in the Dickie at the back. Apart from the driver we took it in turns to be the front speed passenger. The top speed is 30mph. The make of car is a Trojan

Oh how much fun this must be to take a ride in your brothers car. One thing you will not get is a speeding ticket

So glad you had their company. What a taste of normalcy, though most families aren't all that normal!

Betsy are any families normal? Regarding COVID I think that we all have become more accepting of it and though taking care and we in Wales are still mask wearing and taking precautions England is far more lax
