Goodbye to Sue and Patrick & a trip to Cambridge

Up nice and early today to take Sue and Patrick to the airport. We had planned to be up at 4.45am, but for some reason our alarm didn’t go off and we were woken by Patrick politely knocking on the door at 5.15am bless him. We had time to chuck some clothes on and leap into the car and make the hour drive to Heathrow where we dropped them off and said goodbye. It was really sad to have to say goodbye to these guys. They have been so incredibly, amazingly, wonderfully kind to us and such a blessing. To think that a few months ago we’d never met and now, we not only call these guys our family but also our friends. We can not thank these guys enough, words seem to fail and no matter what you try to give in return it just feels in significant, all we can say is thank you, thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Chris and I then had the fun task of trying to navigate our way back to Chipping through the early morning traffic. It was still early, but traffic was building. It didn’t take too long but it was still a little stressful and I’m just so thankful that we had the little GPS to help us find our way “home”

When we got back we decided that we would take a day trip to Cambridge. So, after a bit of brekki we head off. We looked about the city for a bit together doing a little shopping before Chris and I head to the cinema to see the new film “Inglorious Basterds” which was good, though a little gruesome at times. The movie went longer than we thought, so we rushed back to meet Luke and head home to pack our bags for our trip to Germany/France tomorrow.
