Time is Slipping Away

Well we have 4 weeks left in England...wow that is hard to believe. Our last few weeks here have been packed full of things and we are getting excited to go home (and a bit sad to leave).

About three weeks ago we had some Canadian friends come and visit from Ottawa. It was Sheridan and Erin's 10 year anniversary and they came to stay with us for a week before moving on to Paris. We went to the beach, visited Land's End (which we hadn't visited)and they did some touring of they're own. Overall, I think they had a good trip.

A couple days later we went for a last visit to our friends Neil and Justine and their kids Ellie and Owen outside of London:( We used to be neighbours until they moved last Oct. and it was so great to see them. We went for a bear hunt in the woods, played garden cricket with the kids, drank Pimms and Moose Milk and went to Legoland. Legoland was a huge hit with the kids and we all had a great time together in the garden.

We returned home to have our family photos done on our favourite beach here and a mess dinner. I even had a great girls' day out shopping with Mandy in Plymouth (because that's how far you have to go to shop around here....literally).

This week it is back to the grind (Lochlan and Miah had half-term last week). We have moving stuff to complete and lots of social events planned and are looking forward to a visit from Mark's brother Clayton in a week's time. We also have Lochlan's birthday to celebrate our last weekend here, which will be nice for him as we'll be able to have a party with all his friends.

Here are some pics from our activities:
