Well here I am still sitting on my sofa at home surrounded in family, music and love. In exactly 19 days I will be in London, the excitement is certainly growing, not that I am anywhere near ready yet, still plenty of shopping to do, a bus to book to take me to Auckland where with a bit of luck I will be staying with my cousin over night.
First I will need to buy a new suitcase, then to pack. What to pack, a few winter clothes to be sure, decent footware.......not that I have any really. Gifts for all my family and friends, of course my laptop and camera too, cant forget them or how will I be able to blog everyone. Looking forward to skyping my adorable family.
The best part of this trip is surprising my parents a week before christmas, not sure where I will surprise them yet, still working on that. My other surprise is for Annie from Ireland so please dont let on. My friend Lucy is organising a Rootschat meeting at Kew, which is where I hope to surprise Annie as well as meet a lot of other chatters who have become my friends.
The worst part is leaving my husband and kids behind, they are fantastic, love them to bits and this will be my first Christmas without them I will also probably miss all their birthdays next year, shame on me...........well no not really because it is was my husbands idea that I should do this. I appreciate him more than words can say. Thank you Paul.
