let me start off by saying its now 11.17pm (or 10.14pm depending on if you have or haven't turned your clock back...) and i am sitting here blogging and enjoying and i mean really enjoying a left over roast turkey sandwich... but I'm getting ahead of myself so let me explain...
Today has been a great day! as a final farewell we are celebrating Christmas complete with Turkey, presents, Christmas crackers and fairy lights its amazement! The day started this morning with a massive skype catch up with Moo and Sian back home in NZ... whilst talking i said "its Christmas so we should be eating smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for brekkie a tradition which ended up continuing today... all it took was a quick trip into town to pick up supplies since that breakfast (which was really at lunchtime) it has felt like its actually Christmas... LP got the turkey on... then we relaxed until bout half two when we got the veg going and the pavlova topped.... then it was time for prezzies we got such a good haul! (and gave lovely gifts as well if i do say so myself) around 4.30pm we sat down for an AMAZING meal then (after doing all the washing up) we hobbled into the living room and watched TV/napped for a while before stuffing our faces with yet more food (the Pavlova) then it was out to the pub for a quick drink with some friends now back at home getting ready for our long day tomorrow...
The presents in all their glory...

LP has now printed off our boarding passes after checking in online a process which i find baffling what if (touch wood) you don't make it to the airport?... any who we got to choose our seats which were already mostly all gone... we got the last window seat.... LP loves looking out the window i love turning into a zombie watching a movie then conking out till we arrive... when we get to Heathrow all we need to do is drop off our luggage and head through security...tomorrow we just have one or two things to get done before we head off to the station our train is 8.45am but due to day light saving ending its actually 9.45am so it wont even feel early! this time tomorrow we will be on board the plane the adventure has finally started!....
This will be my last post from Blighty so i say a big goodbye to mother England see you in half a yearish...
