Cousin Connections

Helen and I have Great Grandparents in common and have been in touch with each others' news as our parents, my Dad and her Mum, (who are cousins) do make a real effort to keep in touch...

Helen was aware therefore that our James was going to Durham Uni and as she and Ed, Joseph (5) and James (3), live en-route offered us a much appreciated coffee stop off.  

Really lovely to see her family and marvel how quickly they all grow up.silly snakes and cuddly rabbits appearing from under the table, as well as car crash/skill demonstrations....doesn't seem five minutes that it was us...

.....but now you've got me crying again.
