An Eventful Few Weeks

It has been an eventful few weeks! We seem to have done so much in such a short time. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip back to the UK after 6 months in Sydney. It was great to meet up with so many friends and family and be part of two great family events.

The Wedding



Our congratulations to Mr and Mrs Warman who were married on the 9th September. It was a wonderful day of celebration. Some snaps of the day are below. We wish you well in your journey together. It was great to see so many family in one weekend, with German relatives coming over for the wedding too. The cricket game was a bit confusing for the Germans - but lots of fun.


Manchester
A trip back to Manchester after a time away was very strange. We really enjoyed living and working there, it is a great city which has such variety and vibrancy about it.

We were finally able to meet Emily, the new addition to the McCulloch family. We were so caught up catching up on 6 months of different experiences we forgot to take some pictures! She's so beautiful. We will really miss seeing her grow in the first few years of her life - but J & JA's blog will be the next best thing!

We enjoyed meeting up with Geordan & Iulia in their new apartment and seeing Deirdre & Andrew on a flying visit to North Wales.

I visited my old school where I taught in Beswick. It was lovely to see all the kids again & catch up. They had lots of interesting questions about spiders, snakes, kangeroos & even box jellyfish!! Eifion took the opportunity to see some of his work colleagues as well as Eddie Wells to find out about his recent adventures!


North Wales & Dedication
After a flying visit over 2 days, we went on our way to Penycae, North Wales. We really enjoyed spending time with all of Eifion's family. Especially our new nephew! Only 3 weeks old! The whole family came together for a lovely dedication at the church, which we were so pleased to be a part of as Godparents. We look forward to seeing Evan when he's running around as a little toddler!


Although the trip back to the UK was short, we are so pleased to have spent time with our family and friends who we miss so much. I've now also stocked up on real Cadbury's - it tastes much better!!

Was great to see you both. You guys give us good reason to shove so many photies of Emily on. We hope you get a small glimpse of the wonders and joys she brings.
