February Starts

Hi everyone!
February has been great so far!
In the first week of February our sister, Jo, had her birthday. She was away at the time, so a week later we had a surprise birthday party for her. It was lots of fun and she didn’t expect it at all. We played games from when she was a little girl and ate party food. Her family slept here the night and then in the morning we had pancakes because we’d missed Pancake Tuesday (and because Jo loves pancakes and, well, because there’s never a bad time to have pancakes!).
Yesterday was St. Valentine’s Day! It’s the first time that Kate and I have celebrated this special day as a married couple and it was fun. As soon as we woke up, Kate gave me a card and a present in bed. I then banned her from coming out of the room while I prepared breakfast in bed and a rose petal footpath in the corridor with presents along it. We had a lazy morning and then went out for crêpes in Hampstead – yummy! We were going to go to the park to feed squirrels and ducks, but ended up looking at real estate agents, electronics shops and just relaxing. In the evening, we went to Zuccato’s Restaurant in the O2 centre for dinner.
We are still looking for a house. There are lots of houses, but not one that we particularly like yet. The prices are so high!
We’ve booked the car in to have the engine conversion done next Monday. It actually takes about 2 weeks to do the conversion as the car’s computer needs to be sent away to Germany to be modified. The conversion is done in West Sussex and so I’ve organised a little surprise for Kate and we’ll be heading down the previous day and spending the night there before catching the train back to London after dropping the car off on Monday morning.
That’s the news for the moment. Please leave a comment when you’ve read this. We love hearing back from you!
God bless you all!
Adam and Kate
