Travelling Davey

Davey came back to Oz last week, creating huge excitement for the family, but especially for big O and little A. They share his affinity for London buses, digital cameras, comics, making music and dressing up. We all loved hearing about the amazing Cath, of life in Hackney and work in Shoreditch, and about his seriously underfunded travel tales. We waved him off early Sunday morning in Sydney with fingers crossed for his eventual return to London via Vietnam. At this stage there are a few doubts about the Vietnam part.

Ollie revealed his sense of humour in figuring out how to take embarrassingly candid shots of the family with Davey's camera.

Angus made sure he always sat the closest to his Uncle D............

but Claire and Davey managed to find a few minutes to catch up on old times.

The amazing Cath sent over some killer Topshot outfits for the family, including a trendy new grey marle hoodie for Ella. Ella came to breakfast on Sunday morning with J but without her darling mummy as she has been very sick with bronchitis all week. I have been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with her while Jody has been recovering.

Ella thinks her sniffing trick is so clever she uses it in all her social interactions now. She quickly realised that Erin is a person she needs to get to know better too.

We had a fluffy monkey and an excited, shiny elephant come to Davey's farewell breakfast (as you do).

The only way the shiny grey elephant was allowed on the bed was to feign sleepiness.

Davey's capacity to stage an impromptu performance of Moon River is one of the reasons he is considered such a legend................but the younger set was a bit unsure to begin with.

Angie shows every sign of wanting to be a guitar legend like his Uncle D too.

Who knows when we will we see him again in Oz.
