Farewell UK, hello Hong Kong

Our last night at Bearwood was really nice. Scottie and Sarah had organised for a few people to come over in the evening and give us bit of a send-off. Ben even bought Lenin over to say goodbye!

It was brilliant being able to use Scottie and Sarah's place as bit of a base during our time in the UK. It was also very cool getting to know little Elsie who is very cute.

Our flight to Hong Kong on Thursday wasn't until 9pm so Ric, who was on babysitting duties while Graz worked, bought Tobias around in the afternoon. Once the babies had been fed...

And wrapped up snug against the cold...

We headed off to Dinton Pastures for a walk. It is just down the road from Bearwood, yet in my 6 years living there I had never actually been! We went for a very nice walk around the lake for an hour or so.

Will and I even did a bit of stroller duty! I guess this is what it would look like if we ever changed our minds and decided to have kids...

When we got back it was a case of saying our goodbyes, before Scottie very kindly drove us to Heathrow.

We had an excellent flight, arriving in Hong Kong at around 5pm on Friday. We managed to get our 80kg odd worth of luggage onto the airport bus, and luckily Warren was waiting for us at the bus stop the other end which is just a few minutes from his apartment. A good thing really, considering he lives on the 5th floor of a building that has no lift!

It is very nice to see the bro again. He has done a bit of DIY on his place since I was last there, knocking down an internal wall to remove the 3rd bedroom and turn it into a large lounge area. He had a couple of minor things to do before returning the drill he borrowed from one of his mates.
