The girls and I arrived yesterday into SFO. What a wonderful welcome from my folks! Mom waiting with cupcakes in hand for Maggie. I can't begin to explain how smooth our trip went. From the night before spent at the Sofitel, to the concierge who delivered all of our bags to the check in, to the beautiful Terminal 5 lounge, to our comfy seats, to the flight attendants carrying all of my bags. If I wasn't exhausted and traveling with two small children alone it would have been a wonderful, relaxing trip!
We spent the weekend visiting our old village and friends in the UK. I have pics and stories and lots of things to write about our love for the UK... Adnams, the Spread Eagle, Church Farm, Dawn's brownies, the Old Rectory, Mary's (the one across the road) cooking, seeing the Simon girls all grown up and working at the pub, a visit to the Queen's country house Sandringham, visiting Buckle the super sow, eating a steak and ale pie with Otis the big FAT cat at the Hare Arms pub, screaming peacocks, !!!. Yes, it rural Norfolk we are talking about. That is as exciting as it gets.
It was so nice to be back, but we missed all of our friends who have moved on. What a great time we had looking back on all of the fun nights we had in the Old Rectory... sitting around the kitchen table I picked up on the side of the road in Bury (thanks Belinda for spotting it!) and sharing a cuppa (or a glass of wine or two!) with so many interesting people. I loved it when someone would just pop round.
I have many pics to post, but I must run to bed because both girls are asleep and jet lag has been rough. We will probably be awake from 1 am - 6 am tonight. If anyone is up and bored... give us a call!
