At long last...

After a long 2 weeks Corey and I finally have some job prospects.
We've been offered a live-in job at a lovely small hotel in the Cotswolds (a region in the beautiful English country side).
We will head down this week for a trial and see how we fit in. So that is all very exciting.
We will update you all on how this job is working out for us as soon as we can.

Our very dear friend, Katie Butcher, has just arrived from Australia, so we have had some time with her before we head off for this job.

We've been around a few of the sites together, which has been great. Its as if no time has passed since seeing her. It's always strange seeing people from 'home' here in London. Especially when its still hard to beleive that we are actually here in the UK, after almost 12 months.

Tonight we dine with some other dear friends, Chris and Robyn Maddock (Dave's parents), while they're here on a short stop after their USA trip.

The last week here has been a smorgasboard of fireworks as its the time of year that the Brits celebrate, Guy Fawks day (celebrating the failed attempt of blowing up Parliment house by Guy Fawkes and clan in the 1600's). Fireworks have been sold everywhere and set off all night long until approx 10pm. They even have beware of setting off fireworks ad's on tv like they do for speeding or drink driving etc. Its very exciting.

Hello Sezza!
Life looks great for the two of you! Am glad to hear that Katie arrived safely and you are taking care of her.
The picture from Barcelona of the Gaudi - my favourite Architect! Aren't they amazing. I am very jealous.
Anyway, would love to know when you guys are due back, and trust that Jan and Alan let you know of Kirk and my recent engagement.
Much love - Kirk and Erin
