Sunday braai with the Harrisons ...

Lovely weather today!
Great food and drink and wonderful company ... :) 

Andrew, Leigh and the boys - first full day in the UK

The weather was beautiful today. Kevin was working but this weekend is a bank holiday, so he will have more time to spend with everyone. We took it easy today - although first thing in the morning Hayzel and I took the van back to Norwich. Daniel plays so nicely with Ewan and Faye, who put up Ewan's tent in the morning. It was wall to wall entertainment for Daniel and WIlliam - he even slept for an hour and a half while Hayzel took Andrew and Leigh out to do a bit of shopping in the late morning. Poor Daniel slipped down our stairs and grazed his back, it looks almost like Andrew's tattoo. Then later on William blixsemed into an open window ... so they both look like they've been a few rounds with a boxer. Despite the einas, they both just carried on charging around and didn't seem to bother at all. We took a little walk out into the fields later on in the afternoon (before Kevin came home) and then got kids all bathed and fed before our Friday night movie ritual.

UK here they come ...

Well after months of careful planning, manic sleepless nights  - Andrew, Leigh and the boys have got their visas - so they will be making an entrance onto UK soil on or around the 25th August.   Crikey that's like three weeks away!
I can't express how thankful I am to the Fates, God, Karma or whoever is looking after us all on this mortal coil but I am truly thankful and so excited to have them all here.  It's going to be a squeeze  here on the Poplar Barns but we'll manage.
