weekend in the countryside

Howdy!
Well, where do i start. these last few weeks have been so busy! it is less than 2 weeks before Richie gets here and less than a month before we start to travel! I have decided to spend a bit of time in Greece, i cant remember if i mentioned that last time or if its something I've decided since my last post, but i need the sun and i think it will be amazing :)
I spent the weekend at Alex's Mum's house in Amersham, was so nice to just get away from all the hustle and bustle of London, you don't realise how much there is until you get out. was such a lovely weekend, we spent most of it just relaxing, took the dog for a walk which was so funny, he is so full of energy!! also went to lunch for his dad's birthday at a beautiful country club (all you can eat buffet!!) and then spent the day yesterday walking around his dad's property, the house and garden is so beautiful (the garden reminded me of secret garden ha ha) i worked Saturday night and didn't get out of work until 8am!! was such a long shift, so i hadn't slept, so i don't exactly remember the trip there, except supposedly on the bus ride to his mum's after being on the tube for an hour, the bus stopped suddenly and i smacked the back of my head on a pole ( i am oblivious to all of this, which is probably a good thing!) was very nice though, we stayed until Tuesday and headed back to London last night. first thing i hear as we got into the tube station in London is a crazy man, on some rant ha ha, welcome to London!
Right now though I'm sitting in bed Listening to Nora Jones (always reminds me of mum :), i also spent the morning looking at aunt Kerrie's photo's of Alaska and Canada, so beautiful!) I am now about to get up and ready to FINALLY!!! get my bank account sorted! one of my bosses brothers works in a bank here, but Jay has been away for 6 weeks so he is finally bank and finally getting my bank sorted! very happy!
