Sherrin!

We have so many recent pictures to show you and stories to tell after our trip home. But, before I start with them all, here is one taken just before we left, demonstrating that William has learnt how to blow through a straw.


You may ask how the 24 hr flight went...? Well, on the way out, it could have been worse. He didn't scream too much, and was generally happy. However, he was so excited to have his own set of headphones, which could be plugged in and out as often as he wished, that he only slept for a few hours. We arrived pretty exhausted, and Andrew was probably thinking regretful thoughts that he'd offered to fly home by himself with William. However, William was great on the flight home, and slept for most of the first, and some of the second, legs of the flight.

The non-Aussies reading this may not know what a Sherrin is. It is the brand name of the makers of the Aussie Rules football. One of the first of many friends that we visited while home were Sam and Ryan (who, interestingly are the inverse of us - she is Welsh and he is Aussie), who we'd last seen in Abergavenny at their wedding. Well, Ryan has a Sherrin in great condition, and signed by some of the Essendon Football team - William liked it alot! Ryan was very trusting to let William play with it.
