We are having a leaving party on Saturday and we hope to see as many of our friends as possible.
The flag background is our tribute to the great and good of American celebs.

I do hope people turn up!

Under 2 weeks to go. We've been treating ourselves to some of the things we will miss about London.
On Sunday we spent far too much time watching the dogs swimming in the pool at Hampstead Heath. Definitely one of my favourite pastimes.
Last night we dined at the Oxo tower restaurant, where we have never been before. Great views, cocktails and food.  A great night out.

Whilst we know these are things we will miss, we are full of anticipation as to what will replace them when we arrive int he states.

I endured my penultimate train journey into work today. 23 degrees and every window closed on the train. I WILL NOT miss this!

3 weeks today, we will be on a plane and starting our new life in America.

Still so much to do, but excitement is beginning to take hold of us.

We are busy striking things off lists each day in order to be ready to fly.

In other news, the new Radiohead single has posed the question; do we go to Madison Square Garden in July to see them??

So I just found out my cats get to travel via Chicago on their merry way to meet up in North Carolina.
Taking in the sights and enjoying an overnight stay in a luxury pet bungalow!

I do hope that they cope with the travelling, as they are not happy even when they just go to the vets.
It will be worth it!

For some months, we have been planning a move to the United States.
It has been months of processes, forms, interviews and excitement.
We are now 1 month from our departure date. We are still drowning in paperwork, but we can smell the pancakes!
