making the world smaller, just for a moment

And then there were more. More wonderful, caring, welcoming family members to be found on the other side of the world.

They showered us in chocolate, it was Easter after all. It seems by now the croissants and crepes and cream and now chocolate has caught up with me and I sport a new European winter coat. Oh dear.

Easter breakfast with cousin Viola, Easter lunch with beautiful Aunty Fanny and Uncle Rudy, and then we meet our cousin Iris for the first time.

We stay with Viola who feeds us more chocolate and chips and lollies and grapefruit flavoured beer. We go swimming and take a Sunday drive.

We know it has been too long between visits. But maybe we have just made that huge divide from little Port Lincoln to little Werne a little easier to cross.
