Well the time has rushed past and it’s time to go back to Nottingham, it doesn’t feel like we’ve been here for 4 weeks.
This morning Maria and I went to Penn station to get some doughnuts, the Amish market to get some Jalapeno pistachios and to South St. Seaport to get some Godiva chocolates. She’s far too good to those children of hers.
She’s now rushing around doing the washing, clearing the fridge, throwing out the rubbish, moaning about her packing not fitting and dropping hints about some people doing nothing to help. I don’t know what she’s going on about, I’ve done all my own packing and I’m ready to go.

I’m quiete looking forward to the trip and getting back home. I could do with a rest before going to India.
Glad to hear you’re all packed – have you thought of offering to carry some of Maria’s stuff for her if she’s having trouble? I’m sure she’ll be grateful.
Looking forward to welcoming you back to Blighty tomorrow
