Monday 5 September 2011

T'was the night before Canada and all through the house...

...people are running around like maniacs!

Have you ever tried to condense your life into two 23 kilo bags? Well that's how I am spending my last evening in the UK - looking despairingly at my wardrobe and hoping it will all jump into the bags by itself.

It's not all bad, I spent all day today at a spa with my mom, nan and aunt (que a lot of laughing!) and I'm currently sat eating my "last meal" of Shepherds Pie a lá mom - complete with broccoli in the shepherds pie and Yorkshire puds, because that's how we roll!

I've had a FAB last weekend, and have been thoroughly spoilt with love, attention and kind words from so many people. On Friday we (Mr L'amour and I) accompanied my family and close family friends to the Chateau Impney for a lovely meal, followed by father - daughter bonding on Saturday and a surprise 1940's tea party for my Nans 70th birthday on Sunday (which meant everyone dressed according to the period - right up my street of course! I bloomin loved doing everyone's hair and make up and spent most of the afternoon day-dreaming that I was a Forces sweetheart....) It also doubled as a great way to see all of my family before we left, which in turn led to many emotional goodbyes. I was an emotional wreck by the time everyone had gone home!

Luckily Mr L'amours family had booked us into the posh hotel for the evening so I had a quick dip in the pool and swiftly "went up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire." I was fast asleep before my head touched the pillow.

Well, my clock display now reads 00:25, which means that it's officially Tuesday 6th September and we leave today! I better get some rest, I've got to be up again in 5 hours and the nerves are catching up with me.

With fingers crossed,

Aimée L’amour x
