We've had a lovely weekend with a visit from Adrian's niece's husband Steve. He was in the UK on business this week and stayed with us from Thursday evening before flying home to his wife and young son. Although only here for a few days, he and we managed to fit in quite few things in. Mark and Steve went up to London one day and visited Buckingham Palace and Madame Tussauds and then Simon came home to join us for the weekend and he and Mark both went up to London with Steve today to go the Tower of London.
We always find that it's only when we have visitors that we tend to do the 'touristy' things. I've heard other friends say the same thing. All these interesting places are 'on our doorstep' and we take them for granted and don't think about visiting them. It's just as well we have visitors occasionally as then we can be 'tourists' too.
Another lovely thing about the weekend is to have several young people in the house. They always seem to pass on their energy and enthusiasm to us older ones which is great.
