We headed back to Guildford for our last week in the UK to see some more friends and to help with the preparations for Anna and Antony's wedding.
Most of the week was spent getting essentials to take back to Shanghai and popping in to town for last minute wedding bits.
However, on one day we headed up to London for the day to meet up with Hannah and Mike. We had a great day at the Tower of London and there was no queue for the Crown Jewels!
One afternoon was spent with the Rowland's family. The children all got on well despite not having seen each other for a year and even jumped in the bath together. Sam and I then took the boys home to bed and went back for a more grown up evening with Phil and Caroline. Although Phil showed that he can't be grown up when it comes to barbeques!
On the day before the wedding Sam took William and Oliver swimming with the Grant's then over to Kent before heading to Kingston to spend the night with Ant, Dan and Hadley.
Anna, Ellie and I went for a two hour session in Chanmpney's Day Spa and last minute underwear shopping (a bit of a pre-wedding tradition in the Smith family!). We then met Mum in a bar in town for a quick drink but before we knew it we were two bottles of prossecco down!
We headed home to spend the evening with Dad. We had a fab evening taking a trip down the musical memory lane of the Smith family. Featuring were the Mermaids soundtrack, Glen Mederos, Chris de Burgh and Queen among many others!
After a curry and a few drinks we all headed off to bed to get our beauty sleep.
