Back to normal

Caroline's friends caught their flight back to the UK yesterday so we're back to our 'normal' family state, although the school holidays continue until next week.

The last few days were taken up with Caroline, Sophie and Sophia going back to the city on Monday for a jet-boat ride on the harbour, where they achieved their aim of getting soaking wet! We all walked to Forestville on Monday evening for a meal in the local Thai restaurant, which was good, and then Tuesday morning saw an hour's knockabout at our tennis club to give them a bit of exercise before their 24-hour stint on the planes.

Caroline has really enjoyed her friends being here for the last 2 weeks and it's given us all the opportunity to do some new things, as well as go back to some places we went to when we first arrived.
