We had a lovely evening last night with Jo and Anthony at Fifteen. Again, good food, good wine, good company. I think everyone is making it as hard as possible for us to leave.

A few last minute things done today. The cleaners were in doing the big clean before the tenants move in. The boiler man was in, keys were cut. All that boring stuff. We also took the girls to their last St Disgustings Toddler Group and then on to lunch at Wagga Mammmas. Emily put on the "last supper" for the children this evening which was lovely, if somewhat tinged with sadness. The children ran amok - I shall miss the mayhem and madness of four toddlers and three (almost four!) babies all demanding attention! Rachel had to say good bye to Gus, Helen and bump, and to Caroline. Needless to say, many tears were shed. The TW gang gave us a lovely print of a London cab which we can add to the NYC collection.

Our last evening has been spent at Stephen's parents place with Waitrose steak, chips and salad. Stephen's choice for his last meal. Maddie was up late again, singing songs for our enjoyment.

Last day tomorrow. Think we are going to have to keep ourselves busy with a few last minute things. Otherwise leaving for the airport at about 4.30/5.00.

It may be a few days before we post again from Australia. Love, peace and happiness to you all.
