We’ve spent the last couple of days with John and Bao before taking them to the airport today for their return home to the UK. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to get to know Bao. Even in the brief time we’ve had together Bao seems to have grown. Much of this must be due to her eventually becoming more relaxed around the new set of folks she’s had to get to know.
Helen has been a wonderful granny, full of smiles doting over her grandchild.
Saying goodbye to them today was bitter-sweet. Sweet knowing that we’ll be back together in just a months time. Bitter in the knowledge that our time together in the UK will again be brief. Bao’s mother has recently decided to return to her homeland, Australia. I know Helen was so looking forward to becoming a useful and helpful granny but now it’s not to be. Of course, one granny’s loss is another’s gain and we wish Penne all the best.
A few final photos, including a couple of Bao wearing her (belated) first birthday pressie from us which we picked up in Hong Kong.
