Today was a wet trip to Scunthorpe, to meet and visit my family - a bit weird and strange, but wonderful to finally meet them. It's my father's half-brother Graham and his wife Vanda, and their 3 children and their families: Simon (yes - another Simon Higgins), his wife Cheryl and kids Lily (7), Luke (5) & Jake (3); Nigel, his wife Victoria and 10 month old Harrison; and Leanne, and her fiancé John (with whom I am staying while I'm here).
I'll be spending the next few days here, and I know that it will be great to get to know this side of the family.
