Well the date we fly out is getting ever closer. Nervous? Nah, not even had time to think about it. In fact we’ve been having leaving party after leaving party and seeing relatives and friends that we haven’t seen in a while. It’s been good fun and a little sad at the same time. We continue to get asked the same questions, “Where are you going to stay?”, “Have you found a job yet?”, “Have you packed?” etc and the shock looks at our replies of “Don’t know”, “Find one when I get there”, and ,”Not yet”, are comical. The world is such a small place now and I am thinking of this trip more as a long holiday than anything else.
Of course I will miss family and friends but then with webcams and e-mail its easier to communicate. When our parents emigrated from India back in the 60’s snail mail was the only form of communication and it would take over a week to get correspondence! (and that was only for those of them that could read and write!).
So when’s the next leaving party???
Well we only have 4 more days left in the UK and its not getting easier. Most of the family was round, as you all know and its starting to really hit home that we will soon be leaving you all… thank you to Amy, Pav and Amrun for the special drawings they made us. We will be taking them with us and putting them up
Rum and I finished reading the huge card and comments from you all, it was difficult to read all at once… far too emotional.
