Well, Tina and I are in America!We arrived on an overcast afternoon that soon turned to drizzle. It was all very British, except for the muggy heat.
Tina's brother and dad met us in her brother's enormous Ford F-250 - which swallowed up our enormous suitcases without any problem. Then we roared up the Jersey Turnpike to Hillsborough and a bit of a family reunion.
Last night, we all sat around an enormous table and ate the most delicious food. An enormous plate of Waldorf salad. Pepperoni and Italian calzones. Smoked ribs with the delicious meat literally falling off the bone. And lots of laughter and stories. It was a lovely welcome.
Tina's family is full of babies. Her sister gave birth to sleepy little Jared just two weeks ago. Her brother has a very intelligent baby called Ryan who is only a couple of months old and already has a moustache. When you're Italian American and Chilean cocktail, I guess that's to be expected!
Right now, the weather's very British. Most of the tri-state area is under a grey ceiling of cloud and drizzle. Tina and I are already putting the wheels in motion to kick off this brand new chapter in our lives and we're incredibly excited.
