So this was my whirlwind tour of the UK, the last one as a free, unencumbered adult! A few days in London to catch up with Sal, Ish and Amit, meet Pat (the day before her second son was born), meet Jess and Max, Becs and Anna and then Liz. Oh, and after that go shopping for maternity clothes in the wonderful Crave.

Then, hire a car, drive down the M4 to Bristol, clear the boxes in my parents' attic, go for walk in the woods, then drive north to Manchester. Then a weekend in Manchester with sister Kate, before missing my plane to Zurich on Sunday evening and returning on Monday morning! I was a little bit tired at the end of it :-)
