we spent today with jane’s parents, as although we’ve been staying in their house for the last couple of days and a few minutes drive away for the rest of the time, we haven’t actually spent much time with them!

so today we got up, did lots of packing of suitcases (so i take the right things with me and use up all my luggage allowance).

the girls played various board games with each other and anyone else who would play with them.

this afternoon we went for a nice walk.  Jane’s dad and the girls came back to play more games whilst jane, jane’s mum and I carried on round California Country Park.

we also managed to say a quick final goodbye to Kim and family who gave the girls some lovely jumpers

then this evening we went to our favourite old pub in Hurst for our last supper which was jolly nice.

i took loads of photos today but i’ve packed much of my computer stuff so i’ll add them later.

we’ll not be updating the blog over the next few days as i’ll be in the air until Monday morning NZ time (late Sunday evening UK time by the time i get home i suspect).
