My brother Geoff and his fiance Deb coming to visit on the 29th October marked the start of a very hectic week of house-guests, entertaining and carrying on for us! All lots of fun of course.
Geoff & Deb have been living in the UK for the past 5 or 6 years but are on their way back home to Australia for good this time - so they’d just spent the previous few weeks selling houses and cars, packing everything up and generally racing around - an experience we can well relate to only having done it a short time ago ourselves. So we didn’t have too strenuous an agenda planned for them but rather thought we’d let them chill out here. Which is pretty much what happened.
Well it was very exciting to welcome them both to our little pad here, partly because we hadn’t seen Geoff at all since visiting him in the UK in 2004 but also because we’d never met Deb before. Happy to report that she’s great and will be a welcome addition to the family - smart and interesting and very enjoyable company. Her and Geoff are all cute and lovey-dovey too which is kind of hilarious.

The very next day we also had Gavin come to stay again so it was full house visitors-wise. The troops busied themselves all during the day visiting Jim Thompson’s house, the Blue Elephant cooking school and Geoff and Deb even did that thing which every tourist is warned not to do - allow the tuk-tuk driver to take you to “his friend the tailor”. I was kind of horrified when I found out but happily it turned out to be a great adventure for them and they were street-smart and well-travelled enough to avoid getting completely stooged.

Gavin kept himself busy at the dentist, as you do….
On the final night when all three were leaving the next day, we had a fantastic dinner at Distil which is right next to the old favourite Sky Bar, a great night and great way to finish off their visit.

Guess we’ll be seeing Geoff and Deb when we’re back in Australia again… unless we can tempt them to come back here again first! Which might not be so difficult after all, I suspect.
