Triple Impact

Last weekend had a triple impact. And Sunday was the impact zone. It was Easter, it was Emma's 9th birthday and Dave (Lara's brother) arrived from South Africa on a visit to run the London Marathon.

Emma and I made the early morning start to fetch Dave at Heathrow (after first checking to ensure that the Easter Bunny had made the necessary delivery). Once safely home Emma did a mad rush around the garden to gather up her loot and only then did we settle down for the opening of presents.

Not only Emma was spoiled though; Dave brought a suitcase of gifts from Michele and Bev for which we were very grateful. We felt really spoiled.

UPDATE: Dave has just completed the marathon in 4 hours and 8 minutes. Well done!
