On Friday, Vera spent all day with mormor and morfar, with plenty of walks and trips to the swings! We all had a lovely Indian curry on Friday night, hot enough for morfar Jean to enjoy!
On Saturday, mum & dad moved into a B&B and dad and I drove down to Heathrow to pick up Catrine and Folke. We got stuck in a bit of traffic going there, so parked up and walked into Terminal 3 just as Catrine and Folke arrived! They both looked so great and it was lovely to see them both! Folke is such a great character, a very chilled and cool baby, full of smiles and loves his food!
We all came back here, went for a walk around the village and had a look at the end of the village fair at the Stapleford recreation ground.
On Sunday we went shopping, while mum & dad were baking yummy savoury muffins, with bacon and goats cheese. At 12 noon, Mark, Vera, mum and I went over to the neighbour's indoor street party. It was ouring down with rain, and around 10 degrees. Such a shame. It would have been lovely to have been outdoors like last year. Nevertheless, we had a nice time socialising and Vera charmed most of the neighbours! We also celebrated Vera again with her first birthday cake!
We went for a walk in the rain in the afternoon, and popped into the Rose for an afternoon drink.
On Monday we all went into town on the train, did some shopping and had a nice lunch at Carluccio's. Vera and Folke were enjoying their pasta with pesto!
On Tuesday the weather was slightly improved so we went for a nice walk, although Gog Magog Farm was closed, so we had to make do with coffee and cup cakes at home.
We squeezed in some fish'n'chips in Whittlesford in the afternoon too.
On Wednesday morning, mum and I went down to Great Shelford Medical centre and Vera had her 12+13 months jabs. They have combined them into one now, so it was tough with one jab in one thigh and two in the other. But no side effects so far, although it can take up to 6-10 days...
Mark and I went back to work, so Vera and Folke had a great day playing with mormor, morfar and Catrine!
It was so great having them here and it makes me sad at the same time, as it reminds me of how much we're missing by living away from family. But we're very grateful and lucky to have family who we can visit and who visit us!
Some of the highlights for me were bath time, with Vera and Folke playing and getting some lovely cuddles from Folke
See you all soon in Mallorca!
Folke and Vera playing (Vera is rather aggressive it has to be sad and takes things from kind Folke)
