Our flat feels very empty. The Youngs departed for home this morning and left us feeling quite sad - you all know the feeling. Finn, who loves cars, trucks, trains, planes, double deckers, bendy buses, and anything that goes, had one more London-transportation wish: a ride in a London Taxi. And what a taxi it was: the brightest one I've ever seen! He was thrilled. They are off now to Paddington Station to catch the Heathrow Express and thence to Phoenix, non-stop. That would be dreamy; changing planes is no fun. We are excited to read Maren's blog and see her photos of the trip. Finn used the potty a couple of times in the last two days, so Maren will be seriously busy sorting out Finn's potty training, but hopefully not too busy to blog.
If you enlarge this you will see Finn's elation
at riding in such a splendid taxi
I guess you can always drown your sorrows
in three washing machines full of sheets and towels
We now look forward to Emily and Madeline's visit in a few days followed by Rob's parents, and then before you know it Katy will be here. Tempus fugit.
OXO

I wasn't even there and I feel a bit meloncholy that they've departed. I'm glad they got the opportunity to do so much with their kids. So fun and I feel for them having to go back to the real world. At least they are returning to their nice new house and not that armpit apartment, right?
Yup. It is hard to go back to the real world, but they were OK. They are both glad they brought the boys, but think they probably wouldn't do it again. When we brought you as binkers, we were on a much more relaxed schedule that was less tiring.
It was very fun to have them and we are still feeling a bit melancholy. We are done with the wash and straighten-up and will go out and about for a bit and maybe even go somewhere fun to eat. That should make us happy, shouldn't it?

Food is always fun.
So sad that they are gone but it means that there is room for me!:)
did you buy the tins for the students?
Yes indeddee. Make that tin, singular, however. They cost about £9 each. They were most grateful and gave great sighs as I told them who they were from and why they were being given. They were pleased and the tin was empty by the time Sunday dinner was done.
