Cousin Gabriel came to stay with us for a long weekend, and it was so wonderful to have him here! What was great was that each one of us got to spend quality time with him, and having that 5th person in the household really defused some of the cranky dynamics that have been with us over the past few weeks. I collected him from Gatwick Bus stop on Friday afternoon and brought him home, then we had all kinds of things going on over the weekend, then I took him back to the Gatwick bus stop this morning just before noon. It all worked out really well.
It has been tough not having a common area to hang out in, but we have been able to use other parts of the house and property... on Saturday night, Gabbs and Tryfan and two other friends had dinner here and then walked down the lane to a party at the Denslow's house. We made them sit Japanese style on the floor and use the weights bench as a dining table. That was funny!
So then they all went to this party and apparently everyone loved Gabbs' south Wales accent.
Then the next day Rhiannon, Gabbs and Tryfan went into Brighton for the day and apparently had a blast just being out together.
I have also really enjoyed getting to hear about his life as I've driven him to/ from the Gatwick bus station. He is just an all around great person and its so awesome that he is related to us! Cousins are fun :-)
