the last week

Its getting to be that awful time when I have to say goodbye. Not to all of you wonderful ,people as you guys are my mainstay , my link with myself. If I am feeling low a read of a good blogpost cheers me no end. No, its time to say goodbye to my nearest and dearest again. I have had the most amazing 2 months getting ready for our wedding, kitchen teas , honeymoon in Hermanus and all these lovely touristy things you never do when living in a place. Every time I come back to Cape Town it feels like a love affair. I jut fall in love all over again. I just cant help it ,Cape Town lives within my soul. She is a part of me and will forever be.

How privileged I have been to see Sarah come to her home to live with her mummy and daddy. I feel really attached to her and everytime I imagine not seing her for a year I want to cry. Its been so wonderful for Lily to see all my friends children and become friends with them. Amy is a firm favorite and she is so "tinyyy" and "cute" and she has a love hate relationship with Jake I think. they played very nicely though. She needed a bit more time with adam as just as she was warming up we had to leaveamys first birthday party.


My biggest heartache is that of my parents saying goodbye to Lily. They are so close and she just loves them so much. it breaks my heart .


I must focus on the good though and I have had such an amazing time. those memories must last for me now. I never thought I would be someone who would live a life like this and at times I just sit and wonder how the hell it happened. I am such a homebody , family type of person who loved where I lived in Cape Town. I can only hope that the fates look kindly on me and allow me to return at some time. Until then I will pack my bags and get through Thursday next week. I will be back boring you with more wedding photos from my photographer no doubt and a few of our beautiful gift s we recieved.

Heres a few photos of our holiday and a few of our honeymoon in the beautiful Hermanus

Enjoy your last week :) Hugs, xx
FYI - your blog is not displaying properly. There's a message from photobucket continuously saying 'bandwidth exceeded'...

I really don't know how you world travelers do it. It takes a special sort of courage to pull up stakes, move to a distant point on the globe and build a life.
I hope you continue to enjoy every minute in South Africa and take all the precious memories back to England with you.

Now Lailaa, you know I am a technophobe! I have no idea why and what to do about it. I will consult some people in the know LOL

I know exactly how you feel, Wendy. I've been doing this for about 5 years now and it never gets any easier. Especially when you have to leave all your family and friends behind - and come back to the desert! Literally!. Been home three weeks now and it feels like I've never been away. Enjoy your last few days.

Good byes seem to get harder the longer you are away at a time. Especially when children/grandchildren come into the equation. Enjoy your last few days in cape town, I'm sure you will. Safe travel back to London too.
Love Nicola

It will never be long enough darling. And Nicola is quite right it just seems to be getting harder. Never mind we have had a wonderful 9 weeks of fun and excitement and all good things come to an end until the next time!!! Love you lots and lots and lots - Mum xxxx
