Anna and I took a bus to Leeds on saturday, to spend time with my uncle John, Helena, and my two little cousins Felix and Hetty. The first of the goodbye's....We arrived mid afternoon and spent the entire time chatting, and for dinner we had the most delicious roast with yorkshire puddings. Yuuuum!
Hetty had a birthday party on sunday, so from 10am the house was filled with tiny 4 year olds running around dressed in fairy and princess dresses! So cute! It was a sunny day so they played outside before having games. They still play the same games I played as a kid - pass the parcel, and musical statues! The only difference these days is the food - there's a distinct lack of little hot dogs and party pies, parents like to see healthy things like carrot sticks and fruit. Where's the fun, sugar-rush and sickness in that...?
After all the princesses went home, John set up a paddling pool and a slip'n'slide that ran off a slide in the backyard, and we watched Felix and Hetty pour dishwashing liquid down the slide and fly off the end. Very entertaining!
I left Leeds feeling sad that I wouldn't see my little cousins until they were probably much older, but that's what happens when you live on the other side of the world...
