You can choose your friends...

...but you cannot choose your family. Perhaps surprisingly, I am actually glad about the second half of that quote, as well as the first!

Having had a very family orientated birthday week-end (thanks for all the good wishes via T&E blog) I can truly say that I am grateful for my family. It was great to get a chance to see Mum and Dad on the Sat, when we met in Chippenham for them to pass on the baton - er - hand over my sister for her to complete her journey from Dorset to Ponty. Having Den stay over for a couple of nights was fab, as was seeing her so happy with her lovely fella who also visited for a bit. The family dinner on Sunday with the Parry contingient was most superb, as was being showered with pressies and cards from all directions.

Obviously, the family member who I did actually choose, i.e. my lovely T&E Husband, also excelled himself in making me feel special. :)

So, in conclusion, hurrah for my family!
