I don't know Surrey at all but I'm sure we'll be popping down to see Daniel once he's settled in. He's got to find somewhere to live first and I expect it will be more expensive than it is around here, one of the downsides of moving south. Mick and I are enjoying spending time together, it's a bit of a novelty at the moment but I'm sure we'll get used to it again in no time.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-26185318315372828492016-10-14T10:26:40.982+01:002016-10-14T10:26:40.982+01:00What a lovely idea and wonderful surprise for Elea...What a lovely idea and wonderful surprise for Eleanor, I´m sure she was thrilled and delighted to open such lovely thoughtful gifts. So glad she is enjoying uni and having fun along with the hard work. Congrats to Daniel too, Surrey is a lovely place, but maybe I´m biased having been born and brought up there, Redhill then Weybridge. Nice too that you two can spend your time together exploring exactly what you wish to do.
