Visitors Welcome

One of the things that has been really important to us since moving here in January is maintaining contact with friends and family.  John and I obsessively check email and although we are not always good at replying we love receiving news from home!  We are so grateful to all of you who keep in touch so thank you.  There was much excitement recently when one of our friends came out to see us in person for a week.  Ruth arrived laden with gifts, cards, messages and many other things which meant so much to us!  The boys were particularly excited about the Easter eggs, new toys and films Ruth brought!  Aside from all the exciting things Ruth brought it was so great for us to show her around and share our experiences here together.  She was only here for 1 week but we packed a lot in and she was very much at home here.  It was very hard to let her go back but we owed it to her saintly husband!
