monday night we went round to ruth and steve’s for another last supper. they are old family friends who knew both jane and i seperately even before we were going out (in fact ruth may have been partly responsible for us meeting as she ran the church music band where we met, and i think i remember a match-making lunch where she invited us both over …).
they are also one set of esther and kezia’s godparents, and Ruth is a proper northerner. we’ll miss them heaps.
our leaving party

here is my mum with jane’s parents and kezia.
we got photos of everyone before they left (well all except one family who did a runner before I had a chance to photo them). not sure if i’ll post them on here, but it was great to see so many friends. although the nature of a 10am to midnight party with friends throughout the day is that you don’t get a huge amount of time to talk to people.
the house was busy during the core party hours of 11am to 11pm. everyone is now tired and speechless. and a litle sad.
t&t for tea

we went out for a last supper with our lovely friends tony and tanya last night. it was a bit of a last supper, although we’re expecting to see them again before we go. everything we do at the moment seems to end with ‘oh i wish we’d done more of this’.
T&T are among our closest friends and we will miss them.
a drink with paul

i went out for a drink, a catchup and a bag of monster munch with my bestest mate paul last evening.
driving back home after, it struck me that although we probably only meet up once or twice a year, it’s the fact that we could do it more often which means we don’t need to. but i’ll miss it when we’re on the other side of the planet.
