A wonderful weekend

Yesterday was a day of so many firsts, I was exhausted by the end. I saw so much wildlife and beauty that it nearly made me cry.

I went for a walk in Point Defiance park, in amongst the trees and ferns. In 5 minutes I saw a woodpecker (huge with a bright red head), a chipmunk and a dear. All less than 5 metres away. The ferns and fungi were incredible.

We also went to Alki Beach, which is like the Weston sea front of the area with Miami trees and mountains in the background. Pictures later...

We had our housewarming on Saturday evening with full English menu including Bangers and Mash. The spooky thing was, everyone turned up on time at 7pm, and everyone left by 10pm as we had written on the invite. Very odd. We know it was good though because we ended up with more booze than we started and none of it is the same!

Today Tony has the day off and we're going to Seattle on the train.
