We're back in London after a lovely trip back home to MN for a week and a half. It was wonderful! A whirlwind tour of the twin cities, our hometowns, and of course, Tobies Bakery in Hinkley. I think the pictures speak for themselves, we had a great time visiting with our family and friends. I especially loved playing with our nieces and nephews. We had a couple of gathering in which we could reconnect with friends, but we were so busy visiting, we neglected to take any photos.
It was a bittersweet time because we loved being home, but it reminded us of how hard it is to be far from family and friends. At the same time, the flights seemed to quick that we felt like MN isn't actually that far from the UK. On the otherhand, we were both happy to be back in London and after a restful weekend, we got back into our regular, comfortable routines. I'm a creature of habit and was glad to come back to our current "home."
We had a great weekend recently. There was a big social event at our church on Sunday and I was even asked to sing with the worship band that morning. On Friday, we went salsa dancing with some friends from Peurto Rico. It feels good to know that even though we're far from MN, we have some great friends and support here in London.
Hope all is well for each of you wherever your home is.
Peace, Mandy
