The First Few Days

The first few days were spent eating, seeing, and doing.
We went to Oddie's to satisfy the craving for greasy savories, to Ashoka for the longest Indian meal EVER (where Andrew slept on the floor the whole time, and Juliette acted as if she'd had a red bull), to the Trafford Centre to shop for a suitable shirt for Andrew to wear at the wedding, and all sorts of other things that were the norm when we lived there. We even went to Costco.
Juliette helped Eddie and David work on the VW. She even stole Eddie's snack.




Friday, and Henry's wedding came way too soon. I was set to do the brides hair, and had to get up early to go to the hotel. Edward was left to get the kids ready, and deal with all the mayhem that went on back at Heightside. We were supposed to leave from the reception to drive to France.
The wedding was beautiful, not that I saw much of it, because Juliette wanted desperately to sit with Edward on the stand, but I was there for the important part, the sealing. Andrew did a great job walking down the aisle as part of the bridal party, and Juliette was as cooperative as a toddler can be.




It was an extremely long day for all of us, unfortunately I don't have a picture of Edward when he fell asleep while holding a sleeping Juliette, while we were waiting for the reception to start. There is a picture somewhere, I'm just not the one who took it.
It was a good day, and we managed to cram a ton into it.
We left the reception, went back to Heightside (if you're wondering, that's the name of David and Janet's house), packed the cars, and set off for Dover, and the ferry.
