We've seen Sonja and Brett with their little Raul. The kids clearly remembered each other and picked up their play where they'd left it a year ago. Then Mels came to stay for a few nights. She missed her plane back to England so she ended up staying a little while longer.
Then we had Hein and Jannemieke with their two girls, and another collegue Tibor with Wendy and little one Twink called in for the day. At the end of the day Charlie and Twink were running hand in hand on the market, looking like cute little dutchies. All the girls had pony lessons that they'll probably always remember (helped by photos) like I remember my first ride ever on a black Shetland pony just like Trefine.
We've had a Canadian and a German family that have seen all the sights. After them three families with children that all stayed for two weeks and that have played endlessly here on the farm with Charlie and Lola with bikes, in the hay shed, building things, collecting snails and grubs, and creating fairy castles in the trees.
Clare, Gordon, Rebecca, Oliver, Sabine, Sarah, Steve, Jill, Rebecca, James, all lovely parents and great kids.
And last but not least the 'Witches of Eastwick' called in: Bianca with husband Wayne and mum and sister. Bianca and mum are into (animal) healing, Reiki and crystals and have helped Scooter (who has again a broken leg...) and Toby who had a sore paw. Such great people, we were very sad to see every one of you go.
But it will also be nice to have our own quiet space back, and get some more stuff done like work, building, gardening, dogs, horses...
Apart form all the staying visitors we've also had loads of people call in: A surprise visit from my cousins, and of course our local visitors Lisa, Christina with her mum, daughter and grandson Maxwell, Simon and Eddy, Steve and Erin. And Tom and Isabel of the mill next door with their four kids. Never a dull moment in Kervelen!
