This week Heavens and I ventured up to London to visit with
and say goodbye to her family before heading to America to get married! We
stopped off at Tammy’s house to drop off our things and then made our way to
Ipswich to see Laura, Louis, baby Charlie and of course Boo! We spent a few
days playing with baby Charlie, taking him and Boo for walks, playing in the
ball pit, and our favourite- seeing him in his superman cap!!!! How cute! We
gave him a bath and got woken up super early to watch Postman Pat! It was
lovely! Then we went back to Tammy’s house to see her, Todd, and Olive. We
spent time playing outside with Olive, reading her books, and watching
Octonauts! Then she helped us decorate the house for our American Themed
Pre-Wedding Party! On Saturday the whole family met up at a pub in Chelmsford
called the Black Bull, with some amazing staff, we set up and decorated our
closed off room. Lots of family and friends turned up and we had a wonderful
time, chatting, eating, drinking, and of course hearing some wonderful…and also
embarrassing speeches!! It was so lovely! Next we ventured into London to meet
up with a few friends. We met Clare for our traditional Japanese lunch and then
met Brandy and Jemma for some tennis and drinks in an awesome pub. We even
witnessed Murray win Wimbledon, the first Englishman in 75 years to win it! Then
we ate dinner with Brandy at Chiquitos! Next we headed to Tim’s house to spend
some time with him, Larissa, and baby Amelie. We even got to take Amelie out
for a day in London!!! We took a nice long walk by the London Eye, down the
Thames, played in some sand, took a boat ride, got some ice cream, and headed
back. We spent our last day in England at Richmond Park enjoying the sun shine,
eating lunch and ice cream, and playing with Amelie. It was time to say goodbye
for now, but it was an amazing week filled with laughter, love, family, and
friends. A great way to say goodbye for now to England.
Until next time,
