Well it is finally time to go- sadly we have to leave Hiroshima- can you believe we have been here for more than two years- time flies when you are having fun! 
Since we have been here we have welcomed Archie into the world and watched him grow, crawl, stand up, walk, run and of course fall over. Now we move to Yokohama and will hopefully be able to see this all over again with Ni-ban.(No2)
Only one last weekend in Hiroshima which is a bit sad but to cheer us up we held a final part last weekend. John wheeled out all the alcoholic dreggs he had to see if 
anyone would be kind/brave/stupid enough to try and finish them but sadly no one was....so we gave it to Aiko‘s mum! There were loads of children running around so Archie had a great time. 
please come and see us!
The plan was that we would have lunch together relaxing under the cherry blossom whilst our children had fun. However Aiko was running around after AJ which means- no time to really enjoy the cherry blossom and no time for drinking...besides I'm pregnant anyway! This seems to be the way you have parties when you have children....isn’t it?! Maybe I should call this party “Not enough time to enjoy Sakura" Party !!!
We were meant to be at a wedding party last Saturday and as this means we had booked with Aiko's Mum and dad for a bit of baby sitting we took the opportunity to get some free time on the Sunday. Aiko had found this place that did lunch but also allowed you (at a cost) to try your hand at wood carving. The cost we found out was not only 7.50GBP but also numerous blisters 
and cuts as we huffed and puffed our way through the process. Anyway we are now the proud owners of two spoons. The lunch we had brought including spoon making was about 12.50 but as you can see it was a great lunch!
