We were back in UK for two weeks, taking in Rebecca’s graduation in the McEwan Hall in Edinburgh …
Here’s the new graduate with Charles and me …
… and with her Uncle Richard (my brother) …
We had a celebration
lunch at the Tower Restaurant in the National Museum of Scotland …
Becca and
I had a day to spare, and were lucky enough to see the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo
doing their two favourite things. Tian
Tian was busy eating bamboo …
… while Yang
Guang was having a snooze …
We had a
last nostalgic walk up Blackford Hill to see Rebecca’s favourite view of
Edinburgh …
... and a
last look at the city in spectacularly good weather …
Then
Becca moved out of her flat and went to some final farewell parties while I
visited friend Jinny near Newcastle and even went for a swim in the sea at
Cullercoats – it was a fantastic warm sunny day but the North Sea was still
very refreshing!!
Becca and
I then visited the family before she leaves for Hong Kong for a year to teach
English. We saw her cousins Eleanor and
George, then visited Granny and took her to Windsor Great Park …
We
visited David and Jane and met new baby, Clara …
We spent
a day in London and enjoyed the Genesis photographic exhibition at the Natural History
Museum, a swim in Hampstead Ponds and a canal trip from Little Venice to Camden
Lock …
… then we
met at the Bird of Smithfield for dinner with Caroline, Jo and Gar …
We had a great time at Leon's 'big' birthday party at Haxted Mill in Sussex, which Alice managed to keep a complete surprise from him ...
... ably assisted by daughters Jo and Sophie ...
And it was nice to spend a couple of days back home in Bosham too...
We're looking forward to resuming our Baltic travels tomorrow ...
