We've had another busy couple of weeks, Alistair & Alex came up for a long weekend of golf and luckily the weather stayed kind for them, Nick managed 5 rounds of golf with them over 3 days and Al & Alex managed 7 over 4 days. 

On Thursday Nick & I got up at around 5am to get a flight down to London so we could have lunch with the Queen, Prince Philip, Andrew & Edward along with Sophie as well as the Duke of Kent who was seated at our table!  We had a super day.  Nick stayed on in London as he was going to Waddington on Friday so I made my way back to Heathrow on my own.  Nearly missed my flight only to discover it was going to be delayed by 3 hours anyway so there had been no need to rush after all!  My 7pm flight finally left around 10.45pm so I was exhausted by the time I arrived home and got into bed at 1.30am. 

Then on Friday we drove through to Glasgow for a quick spot of Build a Bear shopping for Lily and book shopping for Tom, then it was back to Lenzie for the afternoon and evening before setting off to Butleigh on Saturday so we could finally meet Alfred.  What a cutie he is. 

 Tom, Lily and I all  loved cuddling with him and playing with Gladys who is now nearly 2 and cute as cute can be. 

All too soon it was Tuesday and we were on our way back North again, just to Worcester though.   We checked into our hotel then went round to the estate agents and paid a deposit on the house we are going to rent before returning to the hotel for dinner and a glass of wine/coke.  Yesterday Tom had a day at his new school so he could meet some of the boys who will be in his class next year and Lily & I went to view yet another house in Malvern.  Ho hum.  After some lunch we collected Tom and then it was back in the car and on our way back up to Lenzie for some dinner and a bed for the night.  We all slept very soundly and then drove back home this morning.  Now I am wondering what to do - I have a room full of boxes that I can start packing or I could just have a nice cup of tea and watch a dvd with Lily instead!   Hmm, choices, we have less than 2 weeks left here so I know what I should be doing.
