Trip to UK was really good.  Anne and kids enjoyed it, on the whole.  Highlights were;

- spending time with our old Brazilian Nanny, Luana, before she returns to Brazil
- seeing Sharon and family, and my Dad
- having a churrascaria dinner with old friends - Geoff, Harriet, Dermot (first time meeting up in 25 years!), Futz and Sarah, Conor,  Gladys and John, Richard,  Hursty and Niamh etc.  Good craic.
- really good meeting with Imperial guys which means that I might have some work!
-  going to see Shrek the Musical with the kids
-  having Alexander over for the weekend - we went to England v S Africa, spent a night with my Dad, visited the British Musical Experience and took the cable car across the Thames (very good!)

All in all a good trip.
