So far this weekend has been Brilliant we set off to my friend R’s house Saturday morning her and her family live down in Surrey. We flew down the freeway as one does in the UK lol Jeremiah and Eliza travelled well. Eliza wasn’t sick which was great, first time in a long time. I gave her travel sickness tablets as soon as she woke up and then again shortly before we left., and some ginger biscuits. After those she fell asleep. And Jeremiah had gone to sleep long before. Which I was very grateful about as when he cries I cry and get very stressed and poor Unal spends half his time telling me it will be OK which I know but I hate hearing my kids cry.
I just love the countryside. I love seeing fields I love the fact there is empty spaces. I loved that about Australia as well when we would go on our driving holidays and drive into the Northern Territory and W.A being where there was no one made me crazily happy and gave me a enormous sense of freedom. I am without a doubt a city girl though I need the shops. And Unal needs to work in a city presently. One day we shall be back in Australia living in the country growing our own veggies lol
Anyway after an hour and a bit we arrived at my friends house it’s truly magnificent and the weather was MEGA hot around 27C could not of wished for better weather. The kids had a great time playing with one another. We enjoyed an amazing lunch all prepared by R and had some great conversations with some people there. One guy in particular has a fascinating adventure ahead of him his Name is (click his name to read more about him) Juan Senor and he is a lovely guy and an true inspiration I wish I had spoken more to him, hopefully we shall meet again and I hope his walk is a huge success. I am presently trying to get a hold of his website detailing more of the walk!
So here we are on Sunday with rain and shopping.
We made a trip to Hamleys and bought some bits and bobs we bought some modelling clay. We plan to make animals and paint them and then Eliza can play with them or put them on her shelf. Unal will make the animals he’s very skillful at painting and drawing and things that require attention to detail. And I will paint the faces on to them and apply the colours. Should be fun!
Eliza’s vocabulary is accelerating so fast and she is cracking me up daily. Today she turned up while I was feeding Jeremiah with her DR’s kit and tapped his knees, then she checked my ears. She said “I am a nurse, I will make you better” then she checked Jeremiah’s knees again and then she packed away all her DR stuff and said “OK I have had enough of being a Nurse, I am going to be a Fairy now” I just burst out laughing, she said it so seriously and all I could think of was a real nurse saying that HA HAHAHAH
So I have been looking at our diet and our evening meals and I am just bored and I just feel like I should make more of an effort for Unal and the rest of the family so I sat down with the cookbooks today and my Toddler cook book and I have all our meals planned and I am even going to make breakfast for Eliza and desserts all simple and fast to make but healthy and full of nutrition.
Unal if you are reading don’t be scared I will be following the recipes properly

xwe are watching Lord of the rings. I laugh Unal is always calling me a hobbit as I am small with big feet. The movie reminds me of Australia we went every Boxing day to the cinema to watch them.
Guess I am missing Australia a little bit at the moment spoken twice about it in one entry and I dreamt about it last night. I do love that country for many reasons. Although watching this movie filmed in NZ is seriously making me want to visit that country. Unal and I both want to see the mountain ranges there. As our families know we love walking and spent our first ever trip together in the mountains and we continued to every year we could.
Hopefully we shall get a weekend of two away soon-ish before the weather turns for the worse! I will be back to add some pictures to this entry. But they are on my other computer!
