Meeting cousins

Isn't it lovely to meet cousins for the first time? I have just had a second cousin and his wife to stay from Australia. They have been travelling for a while and are now going around Wngland and Scotland meeting up with old freinds and new ones. We made contact via the internet but not GC almost 3 years ago and have been busy exchanging family info via email. But it was so nice to meet them in person and spend hours looking over photo's etc. There is an open invitation for us to go and see them so maybe we shall have to start saving hard. The long flight is slightly off putting though! I know a lot of you have had similar meetings as this so many of you will know exactly how I feel Jane
