Dickens Of A Good Time

Okay, it appears that I am once again feeling sort of human. Well, as human and normal as I ever feel! Lily and I had so much fun in England it was downright criminal which is probably why I caught the flu for the first time in my life. We crammed every hour of our short trip with something and some family members. Usually it takes a family event to get us all together but we managed to all get together on the Sunday and it was wonderful. Lily has a great time playing with my cousins little children who are the same age as her and I got to see them and of course my brother and my sister. I have to mention here and only because the the 3 of us find it hysterically funny that we all fell ill within hours of seeing each other but with different things and with nothing related. My big brother was quite poorly but I am happy to report is doing well. Anyway here are some of the photos and videos for your perusal.

When Lily woke up on Saturday morning she was frozen so her cousin Heather wrapped her in a blanket and I made her hot chocolate. Lily and Heather had a sleepover.

I'm a fan of the fire-y pudding myself. That and I love to listen to the beautiful English accents.
