Melbourne Once More

I took the opportunity to visit some family friends in Melbourne in the weekend just gone, as I didnt get the chance to see them the first time that Tim and I visited! So on the Saturday I made my way over and got to the train station to be met by my Uncle Pat and Aunty Yvonne who have been in my life since the day I was born! They recently came over to Melbourne from Basingstoke as their sons and their families now live here in Australia. I've grown up with these boys not that they're boys any more! So Im really looking forward to seeing them all again! In the evening I met with another Aunty and her daughter, Tesse and Elizabeth and we had a nice dinner before heading over to see Aunty Yvonne and Uncle's son Brian. The whole family were together and so we had a good time catching up. Mum and Dad, I have a few photos of everyone, so it should bring a smile on your face and you can see how quick the kids have grown up!!!

Sunday, we went to the market and Aunty and Uncle also took me to the Indian District for a lite bite at lunch before heading to their other sons' place, Mark. We also went out for dinner at a Thai place in town - I think we've mentioned it before in our blog but Melbourne does have some awesome restaurants and they really are not that expensive! On Monday, Aunty, Uncle, myself and Brian's kids Nathan and Justin, we all went to see the Austalian Open courtesy of Brian's lovely wife, Jessica! (Thank you so much Jess!) We had our corporate seats and got to watch both the mens and one of the womens quarter finals! I had an excellent day out and the boys kindly got me a huge souvenir in the form of a giant inflatable tennis ball! Not sure how I'm gonna carry that home yet!!! It was a shame that we had to leave but I had to get to the airport and most importantly I had to get back to Tim - I missed him so much!!! And besides, he needs me to make his cup of tea in the morning!!!
