In England

We are now in England as you may know. We were a bit nervous about the trip here but Elias was a real star the whole way. We got up really early on Friday morning and showered and had breakfast while he slept. Then I woke him up so I could feed him and get him dressed before putting him in the car seat. On the way to Arlanda he fell asleep and didn't wake up until we stood in the long queue to the "fast bag drop". A bit more food while waiting to board the plane and then he fell asleep again and slept through takeoff and most of the flight. We fed him and changed him and when it was time to land he was sound asleep again.

We collected our rental car and the whole family had a bit to eat before starting the drive to Alfriston. Guess what Elias did on the way there. Yes, that's right, he slept.

When we arrived at Joyce's the weather was great so we spent most of the afternoon in the garden relaxing. Elias was playing in the babygym lent to us by Auntie Juliet. It actually feels like we have more baby stuff here than at home because we have managed to borrow so much. Juliet even managed to sort out a pram for us which has been really great.

On Saturday Elias got to meet his cousins for the first time. I think they look forward to him getting a bit older so he can play more. :-) On Sunday we went for a pub lunch and celebrated Juliet and Oliver's 12th anniversary, and on Monday we went down to John where Elias got to meet even more aunties. He is getting a bit spoiled with presents and cuddles, but I am sure it will do him no harm.

Yesterday we went shopping and took a stroll along the beach, and today we are seeing Rosemary. Tomorrow we are spending the day with Juliet and the boys and on Friday we start heading towards London and on Saturday we are going to Darren and Louise's wedding. It will be great to see all of our friends again, just hope that Elias keep behaving as good as he has been..

I forgot the cable needed for getting pictures from the camera, but we will post pictures as soon as possible. I promise!
