We were able to spend a lovely week in the UK en route home. M was around for the first few days before heading back to Canada to re-start work and get the sub-let apartment set up for us. We had lovely morning on Brighton beach with Babush and young Ben - looks like those pebbles make for a comfy bed. We saw my sis a couple of times; she had the terrific idea of taking Seb to the science museum which was very hands-on. We went up to Aldborough to see some of the family (separate post), including our newest 2nd cousin.
But some of the best moments were spent with my cousin's family, with whom we stayed in Brighton. Ever generous with their time and space, they just heaped attention on Sebbie and Sophie. Not many 14 year olds would be happy to have a 3 year old cuddle up on them while they watched the footie. Seb would camp outside the bathroom waiting for their 11 yr old daughter to finish her ablutions... We're hoping that our two will look and learn from two wonderful role models; M & I have been observing and learning from their parents for many years now.
