With just three short days at work and a visit from my mom who arrived from New York on Wednesday, this week flew by very quickly. We spent yesterday morning having manicures before embarking on the difficult adventure of wedding dress shopping that will carry on through Sunday with some cheeky other shopping and delicious dinners and lunches in between. Jorge‘s parents are also in London from Spain and we had fun introducing all of them for the first time despite the language barrier! The weekend will go far too quickly for me, but I intend to enjoy every moment of it.
