Hello all - I have a fantastic week with Catherine and family in Wallingford. I got lots of time with the babbas (who aren't exactly babbas anymore!!) and enjoyed lots of smiling, happy, cuddly time with them. Having little gorgeous children jump on you and tell you "get up Emily!" in the morning is not a bad way to start the day!! Jessie learned to say my name this week - its probably the cutest thing ever, hearing her quietly say it when I leave the room.
I am currently en route to work in London. A few weekends left I reckon. I am aiming to come home around Sept 8th (later if the Hester-Lewis family have anything to do with it) and finish up some courses to teach in Ontario - perhaps start applying for January/May intakes. We'll see - that's sort of my short term plan so ill see what happens.
I am extremely excited for tomorrow morning, as my parents finally arrive in London!! We are spending Sunday/Monday in London then we are gone up to Yorkshire to see Amanda and kids, and family of course. We are staying with Amanda's friend Nettie at her beautiful farm house/ B&B (I spent a few days there over the Christmas break). From Yorkshire, we are off to North Wales for a few days of exploring, and then back down south to Oxford - to introduce my parents to my other family :) and then last stop: London for a few days. I'm sure the 2 weeks will fly by, but I'm excited to show them my life for the last year. Will try and keep this updated as best I can.
Much love xo
