Nick came down about 7 weeks ago and help me moved a truck load of furniture but at the time it was quite a mess. It has now been reformed and is quite decent even if I say so myself. With 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 4 toilets, I can handle a few people. It is quite old but with my wife's touch, has come up alright. Saying that, she now wants to renovate one of the bathrooms aaaaaaah and that is going to cost money. My mother-in-law is a wonderful person however, my father-in-law likes to start every converstaion with me with "Japanese do it this way and Japanese do it that way" and feels the need to give me a Japanese history lesson everytime he speaks to me. Unfortunately he does not have a great relationship with anyone in the family and it really is kinda sad. Your relationship with your In-laws is something that I envy and should you want to send them on down, we would be more than happy to look after them. With onsens, fine restaurants, walks along the beach, fishing and Aimi's cooking, just can't think of a better place! Actually it was a bed-and breakfast but we changed it into a regular house.

I'll be posting some pictures in the next few weeks. Reiko and I are still waiting for the professional pictures to come back from the wedding photographer, and I need to get some decent internet to upload the 250+ pictures that were snapped by my family on the big day.

I might just take you up on that offer ... perhaps for my great in-laws, though. Do you have a bed-and-breakfast? My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been great for as long as I've known them, and I'd love to set them up with a nice vacation somewhere :) Thanks, Keith.
