My apologies for not updating the blog in the past week! It's amazing how quickly they go by these days. Last weekend was spent in Shropshire visiting Kev's nan and aunt and uncle. It's located right on the border of Wales and it is absolutely beautiful. There are hills everywhere and road signs are in Welsh (prydferth=lovely!). It was a really good weekend. James loved all the attention and was very happy being passed around for a cuddle with everyone.
We had really yummy soup at Cath and Si's house on Sunday before setting home. I would have to say that their house is one of my favourite places here in England. The live nestled in the hills surrounded by gardens. Their actual house is an old converted barn with a rustic interior and the best, biggest kitchen ever! You can see for miles when you're standing in their yard too, and it's just beautiful there on a sunny day. They also have a great dog named Jet and she loves to play fetch. James was very interested in her, but I can't say the same about him (as he was stealing all of her attention!). Little Mister slept the whole way home so I got lots of reading time, yay!
In other news....
Papa Kev passed his theory driving test on Friday! Yay! Now he's just got a few hours of practical driving lessons and he can take the driving test. Yay! Gooooooooo Kev!
We are also looking at tickets for Rome! We are so excited to take our first family holiday and to completely indulge ourselves in real Italian food. Kev and I are trying to catch up on some Italian phrases so we can get by without looking like complete tourists. We'll have to practice them on James and see what he thinks. :) Can't wait for April!
I think that's about it... my family is currently sunning themselves in lovely Ft. Myers, Florida for the next week so a huge shout-out to them. Please think of us whilst slurping on daiquiris and swimming in the pool getting all tan!
Signing off, hopefully I'll update a little quicker this week!
Love to all,
~Mel
