Visit with the family

Stopped off in England for a visit on the way to Italy on vacation. After a VERY restless night's flight (we all got much more sleep during the flight 2 years ago when we flew business class!) we set off for Hartlepool. It was a drizzly wet day, and we hit a couple of nasty traffic jams which stretched the drive out to about 6 hours. But we did finally arrive at Mum's house.

I don't know why no-one wanted to go for any long car rides while we were in Hartlepool! So we just took a short drives to Seaton Carew Beach, and Old Hartlepool.

To get some sightseeing in, on the way back down to Marlow we made a brief stop at Rievaulx Abbey for a walk before the clouds and rain took over.

We spent some time with my sister and her family and got drooled on a lot by Luke, took some local walks, and played out in the yard with Laura.
