Big day almost here!

Cousins!

Birthday Boy

Well the butterflies have settled in, feeling really excited about the trip and perhaps a bit nervous too - departure tomorrow/Saturday for London. I have had a busy week Fergus had his birthday this week he is 7! Where have the years gone. He had a party for his school friends on Sunday, Grandma was lucky enough to be invited. It was at a local play centre and they all had great fun, Zac too. On Tuesday the day before his birthday Shelley had afternoon tea for great Gran, Grandma, Darrin, Candice and Koby. It was lovely. Zac was funny - he wanted to hold Koby which he did. Koby was lying on the floor with Zac lying beside him at one stage, surrounded by soft toys that he and Fergus though Koby may like!

I have been mostly organising things for my holiday, but some socialising too, coffee's, dinners out, friends, movies. The weather has been fairly cold however I have managed to keep walking every morning. My walking partner went to Darwin almost 2 weeks ago, but we have been encouraging each other from a far and both have kept up the daily walk routine that we started some weeks ago.

My cat poppy is going on holiday today!! I hope she settle in and enjoys the ambience (two children a kitten and a dog!!) Shelley is having her so let's hope it works out or she will be taken to the cattery.

I won't be writing here while travelling so check out my travel blog, if I haven't been in touch to give you the link I apologise here it is now http://trishs-travel-blog.blogspot.com/

June already where did the time go?

The last 3 weeks have just flown by. My trip is just around the corner! I have finalised my coaches from place to place and the hotels are all booked. I have two weeks at the end of my trip and still hoping to fit in a trip to Paris.
My days seem to be busy with my walking in the morning, my Thursday group, yoga and Mum & babies yoga where I help out with the babies while Mum's are doing their yoga.
Last weekend was busy with two parties (a 60th & a 40th) and a long Sunday lunch at the Cove Hotel. I have had lunches with ex colleagues - good to catch up with all the gossip. It's a year since I left the Brotherhood of St Laurence - it's flown by

The family are all well, Koby is growing his Granny has gone back to Capetown, Zac is talking more and more and Fergus is doing well at school - this week he won an award for being friendly and helpful . The children in his class love sitting next to him - there are even a few arguments as to who will have the honour!!
I will make this short as I want to get started on my travel Blog... I have bought myself a small notebook and will be taking that with me as so many hotels, cafes & hostels offer WiFi
Til next time................
