That's A Relief

Hi guys! I talked about being anxious about my family visit here in Bath today but due to unforseen events they visited yesterday instead. Instead of 20 people only 16 people came. And because the visit was impromptu we couldn't book a table and ended up splitting into 4 groups. We ate at Pizza Express. Andre and I were at the same table as my aunt and uncle from the Philippines who barely spoke any English. But bless them they tried to talk to him despite that. I ended up translating a lot. We only had to pay for their meals It was a rainy afternoon and my cousins from London did not have much time so it was a short visit. We had photos at Bath Abbey, Pulteney Weir, and Bath Market. They seemed happy enough with the short visit. My wallet is not so sad.

I've not been very active here for some time which is a shame as I should have followed you. I may be moving to Bath this year

After all it seems that you enjoyed it all. And I´m glad it was not as expensive as you thought.

@flapiz I´m a good cook and love to cook. And I live alone in my own house so I can do what I want here.

@marguicha That is way cheaper indeed just a lot of work afterwards. Unfortunately for me I am renting a bungalow and sharing it with the landlady so I cannot have gatherings as of the moment. Are you a good cook?

I was anxious for nothing really. Sigh of relief. I love them to bits but I am tight financially cause I am going home this November and it cost a lot.

Definitely! I was stressing way too much but they seemed quite happy just to roam around. It was unfortunate the weather was not great.

Hi! How great that your family arrived earlier! Although not everyone could sit at one table, you still enjoyed your time together. And it seems like they were satisfied with their short visit to Bath. I'm glad your wallet didn't suffer too much.

Thank you so much. Having a big family is a blessing but can be quite expensive. I think not being sat at one table saved my wallet. God's saving grace I would say.
