Summer fun 2012

Well it's been while since my last post - my mom arrived on the 28th July in time for my British Party which took place the following day. We had about 45 people over for a BBQ summer party - we had a gazebo which came in handy to shelter our guests when we had a few showers on and off throughout the day. I even iced a vanilla sponge with royal icing to look like the Union Jack flag. It was also the day that 3 of our kits went to their new homes so now we only have Flopsy and Dipstick. They have their very own 5 star accommodation of two storey indoor hutch. While my mom was here, we managed to fit in a lot by visitng a family friend in Oxford, mom visited family in Scotland, we took her to Norfolk where we had our honeymoon. I also took my mom to a one day international cricket match between SA vs England. It was a rather intense match but SA defeated England. On her last day,Scott and I took my mom to Chester for the day. We had lovely day walking through the Romian Gardens and then had lunch in The Boathouse overlooking the River Dee - some beautiful grand homes on the other side of the river. Sadly my mom left last Saturday after fantastic holiday with us - just wish she was here with us permanently. This weekend, Scott and I had Friday off and went to Bridlington for the long weekend to celebrate our 5 year anniversary since we officially started dating and 3 years since we got engaged. It was a fantastic weekend and just what we needed. Now we are home enjoying a cozy fire!
