September 3rd 2009
Well, that’s it, we’re all packed up and in a hotel in Heathrow ready for the off tomorrow morning.
We’ve had a lovely couple of days with Dad, Fay and Sara (with a small amount of wine consumed!) and before that a nice couple of weeks with Gramps in Berkshire which included a day out with Nanny in Milton Keynes.
We had a lovely BBQ with the usual suspects which was a really lovely evening filled with fun and laughter and loads of good wishes to take with us round the world. We also had a fantastic cream tea, hand cooked by Yvonne ‘Nigella’ Riches which will have to see us through for the next twelve months.
We didn’t manage to get to Newcastle, but we had seen Teresa, Richard and Matthew recently and hopefully Victoria will be joining us somewhere in Asia.
So, that’s all from us for the moment, next post should be from over the pond!
