All Together Now

Fiona, Lilian & William arrived Friday morning! Fiona managed to survive a six hour flight from Newark alone with Lilian and William and six suitcases. She was quite relieved to see me to have some help at Heathrow!

Does this look like jet lag to you?

The children were really excited to see the house and they ran from room to room exploring for quite a while. We had trouble convincing them to leave the place -- even just to get some food for lunch. In fact we couldn't get them to go out for dinner -- so I brought in the original English 'take away' - fish and chips. Actually the children had scampi (which is simply deep fried shrimp here, not the like butter and garlic version of shrimp 'scampi' that you get in America).

The house feels a lot more like home with all of us together. And the two little ones certainly add a lot of 'life' to the place!
