England - Family leaving party

It has all started getting rather ‘real’. I (Lisa) left work at the end of January and now we are having a leaving ‘do’ at my (Lisa) parents’ house in Devon with my family. Caroline, Richard and the boys came down from London and Kevin and Helen from Tewkesbury were but a few who arrived. It was a great time but still it still doesn’t feel like we are really going – there is still so much to do. But it’s a great excuse for a party, alcohol and food all laid on and a fantastic cake made by my Mother, which was made to look like a desert Oasis!
