Back on the Isle of Wight

Well I'm back!!
It is great to see everyone again. Stirling has lost both his front teeth (so he looks a little like a vampire)and Elisabeth has moved schools and is a lovely little lady.
Karen as always is wonderful and today when we went to the gallery we noticed that one of her works that was in the exhibition had sold!! Which is very exiting. Neil is working away fixing windows and making a fantastic climbing structure for the school playground.
It is nice to be back and I hate to be going to the other side of the world soon, for I shall miss them very much.

On Monday I flew from Holland where I had the most delightful weekend visiting my lovely family in Amsterdam. Going ice skating and going to markets , eating ice cream when it is 8 degrees , eating way too much food and kissing people three times on the cheeks etc... And so to England again where I ended up in Stratford - upon - Avon where I saw two fantastic plays. "Hamlet" (which was so brilliant it made me cry) and "Loves Labors Lost" (which was very funny, some of it might have gone over my head, but is was done very beautifully). I also got to see David Tennant and spoke to him after the show. I use the term 'spoke' in the loosest sense as it's not like we had a conversation but i did get to say thank you and how much I enjoyed the two shows and how he was an awesome Hamlet, and he signed my program for me. I did get to actually talk to some of the other cast which was great!
I can't tell you how great Hamlet was.... so moving.... just brilliant all of it.... LOVED IT!!!!!

Also got to go to Oxford with the lovely Rose and had dinner with her family it was great!! We had a lovely night, and her father set up fireworks for us to 'ahhh' and 'ohhh' at, it was great.
It was really nice to meet her brothers and their wives and partners as well as getting to see Richard her father for the first time.I also met JoJo her father's mother, and his brother (whose birthday it was) Stephen.

No time left byeeee!! xoxoxo
