The weather was simply glorious this weekend, cold, fresh and very sunny. Eve had her best nights sleep in 9 months on Saturday night, sleeping through from 10pm to 6am (I was one very happy Mummy). Eve had a mammoth 3 hour nap on Sunday morning, which I had to gently wake her up from as we were going to be late for our brunch date at our friends house.
Thankfully we have just had our car fixed by a friendly, helpful chap called Steve at Langdon Motors just around the corner from us. It's so nice living in such a great neighbourhood.
We drove over to Dan and Ocky's house where they had the table set for brunch. It looked so pretty and the food was very tasty. It was really nice to be invited over for a meal that had been lovingly made for us all. Working full time and constantly being on the go makes me enjoy relaxing times such as this all the more these days.
Our friends Terry and Si were also there. Terry was down for the weekend from London - she hadn't seen Eve since she was about 4 months old, so it was nice for them to spend some time together. Si is off to live in Australia with his lady George, so a farewell brunch with him was just the perfect thing.

Arthur and Eve played in the lounge for a bit after we had eaten. Eve was very taken with Arthur's skateboard and a little yellow hammer that made a funny sound when she shook it. I don't think poor Arthur was very impressed with Eve delving into all his toys, but it amused us adults.
As it was such good weather we took a stroll down to the park just off Bedminster Road. The park is incredible - not only did the wee bairns have fun on the swings, us big kids had a great time trying out the various apparatus. Fantastic park, we'll definitely be returning...
Eve had a wonderful time in the park, she was such a good girl all day, really enjoying herself and getting involved in everything.
I was a tiny bit scared here, Terry was making it go quite high :-)

From the park we wandered over to The Spotted Cow on North Street in Bedmo, had a quick drink, said our farewells and then wandered back to find our car. Eve was so happy being carried around by us all afternoon in the sling. Sam and I had a wonderful weekend with our girl. We don't get to spend as much time as we used to with friends, so it really made our spirits soar seeing good mates - thank you Dan and Ocky for such a great day!
Good Luck Si and George
We hope you have an incredible adventure on your travels to live in Australia x
