First weekend: "It's like Piccadilly Circus in here"

It was the first weekend and so naturally friends from further afield wanted the chance to visit too.

I was overwhelmed and surprised at the number of people wanting to come and see me. They worked like little elves at Christmas behind the scenes to organise a complex visiting schedule and then they began arriving...

IMG_3125I can't thank you all enough, you are just THE best people in the world to me. I feel freaking awesome when surrounded by you all, and have had so many comments from the staff on the vast number of visitors (hopefully we weren't too rowdy). Your words, hugs, and overly generous presents are all too much for one girl to take. My heart is heavy with love, love, love!
