Daniel and I braved the roads with a rental car last week, and spent several days catching up with friends.
First up a white knuckle ride down to London to visit Judy and her grandson Liam, unfortunately I was too busy eating her excellent curry to take out the camera, but we had a lovely day.
Next up, visit with Lisa, Liam and Jasmine. More fantastic eating, coffee drinking, and a lovely walk around The Plantation Garden, a restored Victorian sunken garden.
Back at home Gemma seeks out her favourite little dip in the garden, arranges her toys carefully, and takes a nap.
Finally, a trip down to Kent to meet up with Ben, his sister Mags, her husband and two girls - also some lovely sunny weather for a change.
A nice post-pub lunch walk along the river at Faversham.
Brendan and Ben supervise the girls up the ladder into Ben's latest rather large restoration project.
The car went back today, so now a quiet last week at home, before heading back to Florida.
