Chris flew back to the UK on Friday night to surprise his dad by turning up on Saturday afternoon in time to join them for dinner and spend the night and following day together.

He is spending tonight with friends Tonia and Les and as I spoke to them all they were drinking champagne and pink port.

I am off to Calgary airport tomorrow to collect Chris and then on Tuesday morning handover children and dog responsibilities as I am off to New York to visit my friend Harriet for 3 days, should you hear on the news of blond girl lost in NY City then that is me, very excited - cocktails in New York.
I may not update my blog for a couple of weeks as along with my trip to NY on my return we all go off on an adventure to Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Edmonton returning to Ralston in time for the annual rodeo.
Loving the blog Clare - am very proud! Have a great time in NYC & indeed the rest of your holiday! Looking forward to reading all about it! (p.s thanks for the Thai receipe - perfect!) The Tingeys x
