Bye Bye Nan and Gramps....



A couple of weeks ago we had to say a sad goodbye to Nan and Gramps. They had become very much part of life at home, entertaining Alfie and embarking on yet another project. When you visit Australia you can stay for 90 days on a tourist visa before you need to leave, Nan and Gramps managed an impressive 89 days!



We marked the last couple of days with some family picnics and days out together.



There wasn't a dry eye at the rail station, other than Alfie's who was quite taken with the passing trains!!! We are sure that Alfie misses them however ... walks around Hillsborough and rides on legs have been in short supply!



We have lots of lovely memories of their visit and thank them for everything that they did while they were here. We also know that our parents do a lot for us from home too, and their love makes them feel much closer to us. Hope to see you Down Under again soon...
