My dad was helping sort out a PC for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forces-of-nature.co.uk\/dbdriven\/home\/weather_station.php\">weather station<\/a> for me, but with limited success, and of course they were here to see Morgan. The weather didn&#8217;t play ball though so didn&#8217;t get up to much else. We did have Sunday lunch in the Railway Inn in Borth. We hadn&#8217;t been there for years and it was quite nice. The food was good and the surroundings nice. Nothing special, but there was nothing to complain about either.<\/p>\n<p>Anna&#8217;s Mum is arriving later this week and staying for quite a while. We&#8217;ll have to make sure she doesn&#8217;t spoil Morgan too much and hopefully she&#8217;ll be pleased to see that some of the plant cuttings she has supplied us with are doing well in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>My brother (Jay) and his mob are then coming up this time next week. I think there is currently 6 of them and a dog!&#8230; Thankfully they are all staying in a tent in the back garden&#8230; No offence Jay, but there wouldn&#8217;t be much room in our bungalow with us, Pat and your lot!.. Jay has been getting into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aber-cachers.co.uk\/\">geocaching<\/a> lately so I&#8217;ll try to organise a day off while they are here to get out to some caches with them.<\/p>\n<p>Lets hope the weather stays fine for the next batch of visitors so that we can show off Borth at its best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living out here in the sticks does mean that we don&#8217;t necessarily see various members of our family as often as we would otherwise.
