A weekend in Hartpury...

Well this weekend has been fantastic - family get-togethers are just perfect!

My auntie, uncle and cousin all moved to a place called Hartpury in South West England a few years back and this weekend was the FIRST time that I had been down to see them in their new house. Things have just seemed to get in the way (such as working weekends) that have prevented me from going down to see everyone.

But this weekend, Rob and I headed down after I had finished my shift at Primark on Saturday and made the 3 hour journey *yawn* down to Hartpury for my cousin Pop's birthday. Lots of my extended family were there and it was lovely us all being there in one place to just eat pizza, drink, play games and just have a catch up after several months of not seeing each other.

 

Rob and I spent the night in a lovely cottage with my mum, sister and gran. It was lovely to have all the family together, especially over the Easter holidays and to celebrate Pop's birthday. The cottage was in such a beautiful place - just country lanes and fields everywhere, completely different to city life in Preston.

It was such a lovely weekend being a part of my cousin's birthday celebrations and I definitely will try and visit a lot more often. It's only when I'm with everyone when I realise just how much I miss being away from my extended family. I'm definitely looking forward to the next family meet-up: only 28 more days to go *cheesey grin*
