We've been living in Hastings for about 2 months now and my Mum and Dad thought it was about time that they paid us a visit. We had a lovely couple of days showing them the local sights. We walked around the old town and had some lunch at the Pump House, then took the funicular up the west hill to admire the views across town, the beach and onto the Channel. We then walked along the pebble beach. Mum wanted to dip her toes in the sea so we ventured down to the waters edge where she tentatively stuck her shoeless foot out. A few waves didn't quite reach her but then one came in much further and soaked both feet! There was a little shrieking!
After some tasty dinner back here we went out for a round of Crazy Golf! It's great! Chris won by quite a margin but Mum, Dad and I were all quite close.

On the second and final day of their visit Chris had to work, but I went with them to Battle Abbey. We did the whole audio tour of the battle field which was pretty and interesting, and looked around the ruins a bit before heading back to Hastings. Mum bought some rock for Dan & Amy and then they headed back to Norfolk feeling relaxed and refreshed by their visit.

We were lucky enough to witness another wedding this summer, this time it was our friends Mike and Rachel who tied the knot. We had a fantastic day in the sun at Hales Hall sipping Pimms, playing games and then dancing in the evening. It's always great to meet up with all your friends, but it makes it even more special when you're gathered for such a momentous occassion, so thank you to Mike and Rachel for a wonderful day.
Congratulations guys, hope you have a great honeymoon and a very happy life together!

Huge congratulations to our sis Hannah and ger new husband Jimmy who got married in Leighton Buzzard on the 21st July. It was a lovely ceremony with both Bride and Groom looking fabulous. Hannah did have slight hysterics in the middle of her vows, but the words were heartfelt and well thought out by them both. We had a wonderful afternoon witnessing their marriage and then helping them to celebrate back at their house. The food was yummy, the cake gorgeous and the champagne free flowing!
We hope that they will have a very long and happy life together!
