Visit to Macclesfield

Ok, very slow as per usual but a few weeks ago Nathanael, my cousin Richard and I went up to visit my Uncle and Aunt in Macclesfield (it's about 20 miles from Manchester). We also caught up with my cousin Becky and her family(pictured below). Her partner Ben, baby Molly and the mischievous little Louie who although looking a bit pissed off in this photo is actually one of the loveliest little boys you'll meet. In all fairness he was asked to pose for a photo when he was busy playing. haha. It was great to see them as i haven't seen Becky since i was a kid and I've never met the rest of her family.

Molly :)

Louie posing for photos happily. I think he has a promising modelling career ahead:P

My uncle and Aunt had just had an extension built and the builders had offered to pay for an extension warming party (which is a fantastic idea!). So we had stacks of platters arrive and i managed to completely stuff myself as i usually do when a buffet is involved. Apart from the food another highlight would have to be this amazing fridge. It makes coffee! Brilliant! I'm pretty sure that Nate's parents will want one.

Here's a pic of my cousin Richard, my Aunt Pam and my Uncle Terry (who is my Mum's brother if you were wondering).

On Sunday Terry and Pam took us to check out a local National Trust building called Little Moreton Hall. I'm not sure if you can see from the picture here but the whole building is buckling from the weight of the top floor. Inside the house all of the floors are on serious angles and it's quite weird. And there's a ghost on the top floor too. Spooky! After that we went back home for a cup of tea and more cake and then we went out for a Sunday lunch at a lovely pub. All in all a great weekend, minus the ridiculously long train ride home stopping at every single station!
