So on the friday night Alex decided he was coming to the UK after all after i said fine i will go alone. He was still a bit nervous about it all but was ok.
That saturday we dropped Ciro off at the lady's house shes really nice and we sat with him for a while when we were there. He was really jumpy and scared at the new place he was going to be staying at while we were away but the lady had 2 cats and a little dog so he had some friends to play with. I felt bad about leaving him there and hoped he would be ok poor baby.
Sunday morning early we got the taxi to the airport all packed and ready the flight was good a little bit of turbulance before Stansted but all in all very good. We got to my parents at 2pmish which was good everyone was happy to see us and we had a lovely dinner. It never feels weird or strange when i go there everything is just the same as normal pretty much. My brother had lost loads of weight even my sister had lost a little bit.
That evening we went to Thorpness with my dad in Suffolk where he works, its such a lovely little place. We spent five days there it was sunny but a bit windy, we walked on the beach went to a few little villages. One of the days we walked 1 and half miles back from one of the villages Alex was grumpy by the end of it as he doesnt like lots of working but it was funny. We made some pasta for my dad which he really liked. We both really relaxed and we needed the break away for sure!
We went back to Norfolk on the friday and booked into the B&B we were staying at a place we had been before and its really nice. Saturday my Grandad and Uncle came to visit us and we all went to Norwich to see my sister and niece it was a really nice day out. The second week was a bit hectic as we went to the zoo with my niece, shopping in Cambridge, Norwich and Thetford. I bought alot of clothes and was worried it wouldnt all fit back in my suit case!
I was a bit bad i put a stone on from all the food there as i went a bit mental with the things i missed so im back on the salads now.The nurse only gave me 3 months of the pill as she wanted to keep an eye on my weight so i have to go back to the UK september now anyway.
We both found the second week exhausting with all the activity and Alex said at the house a few times to play on the computer or watch sky tv. He was really getting into the history channels and was watching all the documentaries on the 1 and 2nd world war etc. He also bought a few DVD's on the subject, along with the Mr Bean collection.
I bought 2 nice sticker books for the girls i babysit which they will love and Hello Kitty note pads for them as well. I got my friend Jess a few thing i wont say what they are ad i know you will probably read my blog 
I got 5 new fridge magnets to go with my collection now as i like to get one for where ever i visit! I also got a little bag with the British flag on which was lovely!
I was a bit sad to leave them on saturday i do miss them alot sometimes but i was missing Ciro as well. The lady had texted us and told us he was king of her flat and liked to play with her dog. So we got back home to Rome in the flat at 11pm sunday night.
