And back to the UK he goes ...

Well we have not long been home from dropping Christopher off at the airport. :(

At the moment I am feeling a little down because this time around he has really grown up and I could see how much he had started to bond with Lucas. And now I feel like I have no idea when he will get that chance again or when he will come home. I do remember at the beginning when he first arrived and people where asking when he will be coming home, he said he had no idea. Now as we were dropping him off at the airport he was telling us that he would be home soon. What soon means remains to be seen, but I really do hope he comes back in time for Lucas to remember him so that they can again share that great bond that they had.

Oh and btw the 5 course dinner he cooked for us last night was FANTASTIC!!!! :)

This is for you Karen! :P

1st course - Rockmelon and avocado soup with vodka(!!!), parsley and salt and pepper - no one really ate this lol I think because there was a touch too much vodka but otherwise it would have been nice although you wouldn't think it would.

2nd course - Scallops on pureed cauliflower with green chilli's - yum

3rd course - Baby john dory with a butter/lemon sauce on a bed of spring onions and asparagus - MY FAVOURITE!! :)

4th course - Veal with red and green sauteed capsicum - mmm

5th course - Ricotta cheesecake with cherries - very light to finish off

(And I hope I got all that right, otherwise the chef will probably shoot me!!)

We will miss you Uncle Christopher but will keep in touch by sending you photos and when we get that web cam we will just put Lucas in front of it and you can look at him and hopefully he will have some new tricks for you! lol :)

Wow you were spoilt... hmmm why couldnt i have had a brother??? I am sure the bond he has formed with Lucas will not be lost or broken and that between you there will be away to ensure they stay close no matter how far apart they are.

Web cam is the way to go, and if you also get a headset (lol) they can talk to each other too :)

Chin up chicka, he will be back soon
