So its been a while since I wrote one of these blogs. Last time I wrote we had just returned from a family holiday in Perth. On our return to Adelaide we prepared ourselves for some house guests as Mark's parents were arriving for a visit.

During their visit they enjoyed a weekend break to the Flinders Rangers with Mark and Felicity.

After we said goodbye to Bill and Sue we enjoyed a number of family weekends. On Mothers day Felicity and Mark took me to measure me up some R.Williams boots.

Later that weekend they took me to the Adelaide Hills Botanic Gardens for a wet water to break in my new boots.

With Mark's support Felicity was able to join me to help with biscuit sales this year and this was very special for me. After that she was treated to a fun packed morning with Mark.

Before our trip to the UK we enjoyed a family day out to the Zoo. Felicity's highlight was the bus travel to and from the Zoo.

Before we went on our trip Mark and I worked hard to increase Felicity's walking, so were out most weekends in all weathers.

My last guide meeting before going on our trip in July was a party to celebrate the fact that I had completed 5 years as a volunteer. Felicity came to join in the fun.

The weekend before our flight to the UK we moved our belongings out of our family home and with Felicity's help it was great fun.

And huge thank you to everyone that helped us and dinner with our next door neighbour on our last night was great fun.
