July - Farewell to the Family

July came all too soon. We had hardly settled back in the UK when Marc's brother and family moved in with us for a few days before heading out to Australia.

At least we had those very precious few days with them.

Garth and the girls chilling out on the couch.

Genevieve and Isabelle - so gorgeous!

Still battling to comprehend how big Isabelle has grown, she had just been born when we left the UK and now looking so cute! Of course I'm not biased being the god-mother and all!

The last supper. Invited all the family for a roast. Garth, Isabelle, Genevieve, Helena, Sean, Pearl and Marc.

Miss you guys dearly - can't wait to see you down under xx

July - Old friends and new places

Met up with Alan whom I have not seen in over 10 years, an old friend from Durban.

Alan and I at the best place for cocktails in London, none other than the OXO Tower

I decided to see a part of England I haven't seen before so climbed on the first train that came my way and ended up in Mistley Thorn.





It was beautiful!

A great little trip before beginning my new job - it's going to be strange working 9 to 5 again... looking forward to it!
