After four years, a trip back home was long overdue and because it's such a long flight we decided to do it with class - Business Class!!!

We were welcomed home at Darren's parents, where we stayed for the first 10 nights. For Bill's 11th birthday, Emma and family hosted a birthday bbq:
 |
| And so the competition begins..... |
 |
| Cheers! |
 |
| Grandma takes on Bill...... |
 |
| Compliments to the chef! |
It was a good chance while we were back to try snacks we can't get in Australia!
It was lovely while we were back to catch up with friends that we've missed. I had a lovely afternoon catching up with Toni and Vanessa - great friends from Bournemouth University!
And spent a wonderful afternoon with Luce in the beer gardens:
And an evening out with the ladies that I used to work with at Vertex...
...while Darren caught up with his old triathlon training group
We were also able to attend the wedding reception of Ainsley and Anthony, and spend a night at Puckrup Hall where the wedding reception was held. Ainsley is the daughter of Darren's godmother. It was also Jackie and John's wedding anniversary so two reasons to celebrate!
We spent a lovely Sunday with Loopy and David at the Boathouse in Tewkesbury:
August 26th was John's birthday and Emma and family hosted a birthday tea which my parents also came along to:
 |
| Darren gave a speech he'd completely forgotten to plan! |
 |
| Father/daughter competition! |
 |
| Bill and dad started playing in the daylight.... |
 |
| ........and only finished due to poor light! |
10 nights had flown by and it was time to do the change-over to my parents for the last 10 nights!!!
