Tour of Duty

My tour of duty is complete!

By the time we arrived home this afternoon, I'd met all my great-grandparents and a good handful of great-aunts and uncles...and even a cousin!

We left Tamworth this morning after a good sleep (at least I slept all night long and didn't wake up in the middle of the night to tell everyone I didn't want to go to the beach because of little-boy-eating sharks).

This time, I resigned myself to being trapped in the car for hours and promptly fell asleep.

I got fed every two hours when the car stopped so, with my tummy full, it was easy to sleep most of the trip.

Finally we arrived at my Great-Grandad and Nan's house. Great-Grandad made a beeline for the car and made sure he got the first cuddle with me.

He said it had been a long time since he'd held a little baby like me. But I think he did a good job.

Then I met cousin Jenny and had cuddles with Nan, Aunty Margaret and Uncle Ian.

Opinion was divided on whether I was big or small. If I could talk, I would tell them it's all relative. And I might have something to say about commenting on a girl's weight!

We had a lovely visit and then it was time to hop back in the car for the final hour.

Home at last!
