We are family

We've been out of Potters Bar and living on the road for a week now. Well, not really living on the road as much as living with families. From Thursday to Sunday we were based in Shrewsbury for a show and a wedding. The Bacon's home was a bit crowded with family in-town for the wedding, so Annika and Disa got the pleasure of sleeping in a tent in the garden. It was great! We even laid out in the grass one night looking up at the stars, shining so bright. The wedding was beautiful, the Ceilidh dancing was a blast, and the family was generous and welcoming.

Bright and early Sunday morning we drove down to Westgate-on-Sea. Before an afternoon show, we got the chance to relax, swim in the sea, get cleaned up and meet a mass of Sam's family. A whopping 18 of them (5 children included!) filled out our audience that day. After the show we headed down to Brighton, our base for this week. Show load this week seems light (at least when we compare it to what next week will be), so we're getting a lot of time to relax. The girls have spent a good amount of time reading, and Sam has even managed to watch some movies. Sam's family, like Moira's, are generous and welcoming, making everyone feel comfortably at home while we're here.

In other breaking news, we had our biggest audience to date - 265!
