Home from a wonderful lunch and afternoon with our UK family celebrating our engagement and up coming wedding in September.

Mark, Sharon and Adam are still in Tenerife unable to return home in time due to the volcanic dust cloud.

Alexander thoroughly enjoyed the company of his elder cousins Matt, Rich and Rebecca, absolutely glued to Matt the whole afternoon.

Not sure how likely it will be returning home next Friday due to the volcanic dust over the UK at present, suits me fine! Luckily we have nothing pressing to return home for, so putting it off for another few days or longer won't be a problem. Really the people in the know here in the UK don't really have much of an idea when it is likely to clear. On the upside the sunsets have been beautiful.
