Our eldest son in New Zealand has a big birthday today.
A very happy birthday Brian..
Three years today since we saw our family in New Zealand.
A quick drop off at Auckland Airport as no one was allowed to enter unless you were on a flight. Little did we realise that it would be almost three long years before anyone was allowed to visit there again.
It’s never been as long before since we have seen any of them……thank goodness for social media but not the same.
I might have gone this Spring if I hadn’t been ill but another factor is the price of air fares, almost double what they were.😨
Hopefully next year!
I think Nina enjoyed her Grandads birthday as much as Brian!!
Lovely photo.... Happy Birthday to Brian.
I do understand the frustration of not seeing family around the world. And yes....our tickets last year were double the previous time. That's why we stayed a month!!!
That sweet little girl has a good look of you Pat!!
@julzmaioro ooh is that what it is! Getting colder down there! @sarah19@jamibann@dide There are plans hopefully for Brian & Lesley to come over this summer….fingers crossed but of course three more families there too.
I truly meant to answer all your comments & return the favour but it’s been such a busy evening. On the phone lots & 8 had to watch the final of The Apprentice so the time has flown by.
I’m away now for three days so might be off line but will be back next week. Have a great weekend!
such a shame you haven't seen them for so long . I remember your journey home , you documented some of it on here (Via Dubai ???) , we all had our heart in our mouths wondering if you'd get home safe. How the world changed
