What with visas, some form of accomodation sorted and only a matter of days to go until I leave; Mum, Archie and I have ventured up North to the beautiful isle of Anglesey to see the Laceys! En route we stopped off in Eglwysbach for an exquisite annual Parks Family lunch with G&G, Chris & Rona and Mary.

Only 6 days to go guys.... Wooohoooo! Next big task - Packing! 30kg limit on the Emirates flight, whats the betting I will go over? Dad, whilst trying to convince me to pack light, hands me a huge puffer jacket in preparation for a cold winter, that takes up half my bag( up to -20C in january apparently! ).
