My cousin Russell and blushing bride (actually Russell is far more blushing come to think of it) Claire (formerly of Ballyclaire) Millen stopped in for a couple of days whilst enjoying their Australian honeymoon.
I'm not sure if the open plan nature of our spare room, extremely squeaky spare bed and children who like to wake up at 6am really created the desired honeymoon atmosphere but it was fantastic to see them nonetheless.
Unfortunately for Russell and Claire Melbourne's unpredictable weather excelled itself throwing up the worst tropical rainstorm in living memory (just as I was stoking up the BBQ). It then proceeded to rain torrentially for 24 hours and then be freezing cold the rest of the weekend. Lovely excuse for a couple of big nights out however.
We trust you are enjoying the rest of your honeymoon and hope Max and Celia did their little bit in showing you the delights of parenthood (they were really funny and well behaved all day - just forgot how to sleep at night for a couple of days).
Anyway, next up on our antipodean odessy is a little trip to New Zealand and the very extravagant wedding of my old friend Olly. More on that one next time.
