Rest of the UK!

We had rather a jam packed time in the UK after the wedding with only 3 days left before heading onwards! We managed to make full use if the time however and spent some lovely time with some lovely people!
We celebrated with Auntie Lin and Uncle Richard who reached their 25th wedding anniversary! Congrats!! I was reunited with Holly and Sophie which was wonderful! We had a LOT of fun! It was also lovely to spend time with the rest of the family and to have more catch ups and some yummy food!

After the party we ventured back into London to Boo and Andrews' flat which would be our base for the remainder of time in the UK. It was perfect and very convenient!

Dan's mum came up for the day so we had a day and night catching up with her and hearing about her new home on the Isle of Wight! Then it was time to venture into London to catch up with some of our kiwi friends, well English friends but who were in NZ! Natalie and the very very gorgeous Matthew! We met up at the station and then went to the Natural History Museum to see the Dinosaurs and the lifesize blue whale! It was SO fab to see them and to see how Matthew has grown up, such a gorgeous boy! Sorry Neil not to see you but we'll catch up soon!
After we left Nat and Matthew we ventured to see the Sticklands and their new arrival, Jonah James! Who is GORGEOUS! We had a lovely time, chatting, relaxing and eating yummy Pizza Express pizzas! Thanks guys, it was such a blessing to spend the afternoon with you!
Then sadly it was back to the flat....to pack and to say our final goodbye to England....well until September anyway!!!!
