I'm so excited. We're going to England for Christmas this year. I've got to book flights and find a self catering cottage but it's all happening. Friends in the UK are excited over there and I'm excited over here. I haven't been home in 5 years so guess what? I'M EXCITED!!

I have friends in this area so although it's not as scenic as the Lakes, it's where the warmest hearts are so we're heading of to be with friends at Christmas.

Market Harborough, Leicester to be precise.

Seriously, we'll have to catch up. I am bringing home my English born but NZ reared husband. The last time he was in the UK was 30 years ago so I'm hoping to show him all the upsides because I do want to move back home.

Maybe it would then be better to not drive the 86 miles

I've heard about some outfit that might be able to help you there.

I'm not sure but I think that it's called AboutBritain.com or some equally self-explanatory title.

Anyway, have a great trip. Heck, it's still 6 months away, yet - why the excitement ??

Maybe once you've settled down, you might consider showing him Scotland and Ian and I could meet the pair if you!

I will struggle leaving my friends again but I have a feeling that it will only be for a short while. If Stephen loves England like I do, we'll be straight back.

I'm really just asking on behalf of Anglo. I know that he'd probably be a bit windy to ask you.

Sssh, don't tell Anglo. I want it to be a surprise.
