Winter Pyjamas, Baby Rabbit Hoopla and Canines in Football Kits!

The excitement of my family's imminent arrival resulted in my not getting to sleep until the early hours of the morning last night and also in my awakening in the late hours of the morning! And only then did the new day meet me with a tumultuous greeting at around 11.45am, I was shocked out of sleep by what sounded like Armageddon,  the Chinese being lovers and inventors of fireworks do not miss a chance at letting some off, and over here that means something very different to what the wimpy 'elf'n'safety' laws of the UK allow.  I was brought most violently to conciousness by a 5 minute long volley of explosions that would have had the bravest of battle hardened soldiers diving for cover. It was about a mile away but still made the windows rattle!

Once up and about we set off for a walk across the river (using the bridge of course) to the temple and park on the opposite bank, to kill some time before we would leave for the airport to meet Deb and Sen.

It's been another lovely day, warm enough not to need coats and even a bit warmer than that in the sunshine, the park was heaving with families, the young and the very old some in winter pyjamas some win wedding dresses, many dogs (some in pyjamas some in football kits) the usual kind of congregation for a weekend day anywhere in the world!

After a good walk around the fun fair with all the usual sideshows e.g. 'Hoopla The Live Baby Rabbit', 'Catch a Goldfish with Hook and Line' etc and taking a few photos and having more than a few photos taken of us, we headed home and then for the airport.

We arrived 5 minutes after the flight landed so by the time we got into the arrivals hall Deb and Sen came out moments later, much hugging and kissing and happiness ensued and now I have them safely installed in the apartment and heading for sleepsville. Sen hasn't slept since leaving Swansea 30 something hours ago, he'll either sleep through jet lag or be the most hideous kid on the Mainland or both but I don't care he's here and a new exciting adventure begins for all of us..... Bring it on 

And the Swansea City AFC have beaten Manchester City!!! What a fantastical day!!!!!!
