Anthony is on his way home tonight. We took him to the airport for a 9.10pm flight home.
Sad to see him go but he has lots to do before Jo & the boys get back in three weeks.
Painting the house is top priority plus getting carpets laid & generally seeing that it's ready to live in.
Jo & the boys have lots of visiting to do in the next three weeks so time will fly by!
Where is Anthony living now - in a new house? That will be exciting to come back to. This is a great photo to remember by all - in foot high green grass! Going to be good food for something!
@maggiemae They bought a farm near Raglan maggiemae. Well bare land so have put a road in & new house built. Finished but no electric until 1st July & all painting to be done & furniture moved in before the rest of the family move in. Exciting time in their lives but as usual all running later than planned. They had hoped to have moved in just before they came here but didn't materialise.
A gorgeous family pic. Max's grin is infectious !! I am sure you feel sad that Anthony has to go back tonight - but you will still have Jo and the boys for a few more weeks I am sure they are all excited re the new home and farm.
what a beautiful family shot. Goodbyes are sad but there will be lots of excitement ahead for them all. I am sure you will make the most of the time left. I guess there will now commence a round of goodbye visits to everyone
@andreajoy hi Andrea & yes we have been to Raglan....very surfy!! They have always lived within fairly easy reach of Raglan but never as near as now. Finally got settled on a farm there ....good because bearish brother & near friends plus not too far out for schooling.
Wonderful photo - something reassuring about green pastures!!
The end of another special time together.......it all comes around so soon but the memories and photos are treasure and when they are happy wherever they are .....well that counts for a lot! And exciting to have a new home to go to! Have you another visit planned I wonder! xx
@sarah19 Yes out in February next year Sallie.....lots to see then! Jo & boys still here until the 14th. Would hate to say goodbye if they weren't settled!
@judithg Ha ha Judith I have done that before! Lydia & her friend are traveling back with them, all sitting together so will be easier for her. The girls are staying a month traveling round NZ & then might have some time in Australia.
