Our (Mud) Island Adventure: 55 Goldenleas Drive, family and friends stop by!

Hello dear friends,

As promised a few times now, I have posted some pics of our new home. Fresh off the visit by Brett and Shelley, we had Conan and Kerri and their kids the weekend before last. We had a fabulous time with them, doing a little tour of the Jurassic Coast and retracing our steps from the weekend before when we toured with Brett and Shells. As they were staying the night, we were able to show Conan how you can eat only veggies at dinner and still enjoy the meal. Sammy made her Chilli Con Carne, and Conan had to admit he enjoyed it very much! We love spending time with friends and it was great to have them over. On the Sunday we had a walk in a forest near our home and lunch before Conan and Kerri went home. Cam popped in from the US on his way to the Med unexpectedly. He had to fly out of the US a day early as he tried to miss the Hurricane which was a good idea as he was one of the last flights out. He stayed the night with us on Sunday and I popped him up to the airport on the Monday morning. As it was a bank holiday, we had an extra day after everyone left to explore our new surrounds. So we went to a beautiful place along the Jurassic Coast known as Durdle Door. We had tried to go the day before with the Kinnear's but time and adventure prevented us from doing so! Sammy has also put a lot of the pictures up on Facebook, as I am a bit slow with our blog at the moment! On Wednesday we were able to fetch our kitties!! At last, we have them home and we feel so much more complete. They are settling in well after a very traumatic drive down from Woking, and asking more and more to be let outside to explore. Still we have to keep them in for another two weeks, to allow them to become familiar with their surroundings. So be prepared for many pictures of our boys who we adore. Also by the middle of the following week I was fighting a serious case of man flu, no really it was genuine flu, and so my plans to play golf on the weekend were dashed. Instead when I felt a bit better on Sunday, Sammy and I visited Sherborne Old Castle after a great pub lunch at a pub called the Three Elms, in the middle of nowhere, just how we like it! Anyway, see below a few pictures as promised, enjoy!

I am really hoping to have a bit more time to add some new posts to the blog over the next few weeks! Until then enjoy the pictures and much love to everyone, Rich and Sammy.
