Newcastle

Hi everyone,
These are just a few pics of our time in Newcastle. We went down about three weeks ago for a post wedding party. Ayden's best man Doug and his wife Eve got married in Fiji and had a party at their home afterwards so we could celebrate with them. Ayden went out on a make-shift bucks night the night before the party and wasn't in best form, but he made a really nice speech and we had a great time! I found something to wear quite easily so I was very happy too!
The following weekend we went to visit mum and dad, they have made some amazing improvements to their house - lots of trees have been removed and it's looking much tidier.
Just this weekend mum and dad came to visit us - we had an interesting weekend! We didn't have anything to do on the Sunday and decided to go for a drive - we ended up out behind Beaudesert. Mum and I were looking forward to lunch at a winery or some sort of boutique hotel (we had passed lots on the way), but by the time we were ready for lunch we arrived at Woodenbong where the only place to eat was the Caltex. I ended up with hot chips and a cornjack and mum refused to eat anything :)
Unfortunately we all arrived home to find Boad (Ayden's best mate (his 12 year old dog)) very unwell. In short Boad is now in doggy heaven - it was very sad to say goodbye and we will miss him a lot!
Hope everyone is well and sorry it's been a while since an update! Brooke and Mehdi will be home in a couple of weeks and we're having a baby shower - so I will update again after that!
Love to all xxx
