To expect contact from my relative

Sorry if long!

I have a relative who lives on the other side of the world to me, who we used to holiday with once a year for many many years, including my siblings and all the kids including theirs.

This came to a natural end a few years ago due to covid and the kids getting older. It was a shame but understandable and there was no falling out it was completely circumstantial.

They visited the uk a couple of years ago and were staying in my city but our meeting was cancelled because they got covid. They remained in my city briefly after testing negative but we didn't get to meet.

Fast forward to now and they are in the uk again, at the place we used to holiday together (seen their posts on FB). Admittedly it's a long way from my city but I would have thought they would contact me to say they're in the country. I don't know if they will be in my city but I would have made an effort to meet up.

I'd like to ask them why no contact as I'm quite upset by it, but not sure how to word it. Obv not in an accusatory way. They will know that I have seen their posts on FB.

Any suggestions? 😊

Can't you just say, looks great! Fancy a catch up?

@MyGooseisTotallyLoose yes that's probably the way! I definitely needed some perspective on this as I went down a complete rabbit hole in my mind!
