We had lunch with Susan and Craig today. They brought over hotdogs and we supplied Salako's chicken casserole. It is the first time we have had people round for a meal. They have two children: Mackenzie (7) is in Erik's class and Zacharie (3) played with Daniel and Mathilde. It was a nice way to spend the bank holiday and the kids had a great time in the pool together and playing with their toys. It turns out that Craig's Grandmother was a Kelly from the Isle of Man. Another Manx connection....!

We have managed to get our pictures up on the walls this weekend and the place is looking much more homely. We have ordered the furniture we want (including the guest bed) so we hope it arrives soon; especially the bed since Gunn is coming to visit in a week's time!
