We, sensibly, broke up the return trip with a stop over in England to visit good friends Shazia and Jonathan in Surrey. And a rather quick drive over to Brussels to see our dear Bon Mama Josee who has never met our children.

So Carla moves from Darien to London the day before we're to leave London
for home. No idea where they're staying when they get in. No local number
for them. And so we pop into Harrods for some shopping, as you do. And
lo and behold, we bump into Carla and family in the Toy Kingdom at Harrods.

Best friends Tate and Cay reunited an ocean away.

Dress up night in Surrey. That's SpiderCay under the mask in case you're wondering.
