Well the day is nearly over and we're off to Venice tomorrow. We had a busy last day, up early to see family friend Doris in Buntingford before venturing into Cambridge again for one last shopping spree. Mum, Jo and I did the Park & Ride as we didn't have Barry to ferry us girls right into the centre :)
We did quite well as I got a few gifts for Dad and Barry for Father's Day, a gift for both my Nan's and a thank you pressie for Dad and Mia for having us. Mum bought me a gorgeous skirt from Next for my birthday which will come in handy in Italy as the weather there is supposed to be nice and warm and sunny. Apparently today has been the hottest 12th June in the UK for over 100 years, which goes to show how lucky we have been with the weather here so far. I also got an England shirt (hehehe) which I will be wearing (much to Jo's dismay) next Thursday as England take on Trinidad & Tobago.
We got home from Cambridge in time to see Australia put 3 past Japan in the last 10 minutes (before which they were looking fairly ordinary but Tim Cahill changed all that) so Jo and I will most definitely be searching for a Piazza to watch Australia take on Brazil on Sunday - bring it on!
I popped into see my Nan before heading down to Dad's and Mum and Barry stayed for some dinner before saying goodbye which was as hard as you would expect :( We've had such a great time in the UK that leaving Mum and Barry was awful and I can't wait to see them both again.
Dad will drop us to Gatwick early tomorrow and we will be in Venice around 10am on Tuesday 13th local time. This may be the last post for a bit, but will try to update soon.

After such a late night monday if was quite a shock to see you both up at 3.30am all bright eyed and bushey tailed.
We have very much enjoyed sharing part of your trip and already miss you both lots.
You brought the sunshine with you to London and appear to have taken it with you as it has rained all day here in Ickenham.
Hope you both enjoy the rest of your travels and we look forward to visiting you in Oz.
No more shopping - the bags won't take the strain!!
love you both loads - Dad,Mia and Harvey xxxxx
Well it looks like we will be wearing matching outfits tomorrow as I will be wearing my England shirt to work to go with my obnoxiously huge England flag on my office wall. :-)
Of course in any other country this would get me lynched but here in the USA they don't know what "football" is....
Happy birthday Jo for the 19th!!!
Hope you have a good one!! luv karen and boys xxx
