Amy's parents come to visit

Amy's Mum and Dad (Wendy and Ivor) came for a 5 day visit to see Audrey and Eli (and maybe to see us too!) Audrey was so excited that Nanny and Poppy were coming to stay and that, as an added bonus, Eli was going to be sharing her room for the duration of their stay. The first night they mucked about giggling and laughing until after 9:30pm, the second night until 8:30pm and the third night it only lasted 20 minutes or so...the novelty had obviously worn off.

While Mum and Dad were here we got Dad working hard in the garden which was very overgrown after being a rental property for at least 10 years. He and Trevor managed to clear it so that we can see the back fence and most of the side fence too. We probably will be cursing ourselves as it gets hotter as some of the shade has subsequently gone too but it will be nice once we get our citrus trees and some shrubs in and growing.

We did give Dad a bit of a break on the Monday when we all headed off to Floriade which was, as usual, beautiful and a very pleasant way to spend the morning.

It was great to see Mum and Dad and we're looking forward to catching up with them in Mildura over the Christmas/New Year break.
