It never rains but it pours

In this case quite literally.
Today we paid a surprise visit to Rhys' Nanny and Grampy in Wales. At the same time we were able to catch up with his Aunty Netty, Uncle Paul and his cousins Lottie and Jess.
An earlty start saw us leave Yeovil at 7am and have a quiet, if wet, drive to South Wales.
We had planned for Rhys to knock on the door and surprise everyone, apart from his aunt who knew we were coming. In the end, despite doing his best impression of a commando and crouch walking up to their front gate he was spotted by Nanny.
Everyone was really happy to see him, especially his cousins.
The morning was spent catching up.
We'd planned to go out during the afternoon but the weather decided to interfere with the plans.
Instead of our planned visit to the Welsh showcaves we ended up at an indoor children's play area. Several hours of climbing up and down the equipment followed, which was plenty of exercise for Rhys and the rest of us, some more limber than others when it comes to negotiating the equipment.
On return to Nanny's we had some cake before we headed to our hotel for the night to get ready to go out for dinner.
Dinner was nice. Rhys chose a mixed grill without the egg, peas, mushrooms and grilled tomato, which left just the chips, onion rings and meat. Tracey opted for ribs and I went for a Thai red curry. Rhys' cousin Lottie even had lettuce (with a lemon and herb dressing) which she liked.
Some problems with getting a taxi to get Nanny and everyone home almost finished off the evening, although everyone did eventually get home.
Our evening in the pub did end when Rhys almost died of embarassment while Mum discussed certain of his health issues on her mobile in the middle of the pub.
